The values of the critical temperature for Rb-87, its condensate fraction and the energy per particle are determined. The maxima appear to increase with the number of particles due to the fact that a smaller system has a larger available effective volume which concurs with the behavior of the critical temperatures.enBose Einstein CondensationCondensate FractionCritical TemperatureArticle
