The role of the attractive potential of a droplet in steady state unary and binary nucleation under normal pressures is considered. We determined the nucleation rate by direct numerical solution of the birth and death equations. The correction due to the attractive potential is found to be unessential for three distinct systems considered (pure water, nearly ideal mixture of and and highly nonideal mixture of and .
