Size distribution of nuclei formed by homogeneous nucleation in closed systems

Homogeneous nucleation rate at various initial supersaturations in a closed system

“…We use the same model as in our previous work-for details see Koíšek and Demo (2009). In this work we add some basic characteristics of nucleation process, not introduced in Koíšek and Demo (2009).…”

“…In this work we add some basic characteristics of nucleation process, not introduced in Koíšek and Demo (2009). The rate of formation of clusters (nucleation rate) is defined by…”

“…the number of molecules forming the cluster) at time t, k + i (k − i ) denotes the attachment (detachment) frequency-for details see Koíšek and Demo (2009). These transient frequencies depend on time due to a decrease in supersaturation in a closed system.…”

“…Our previous work (Koíšek & Demo, 2009) was focused on the size distribution of nuclei in the closed system at various initial conditions. In this work we present the nucleation rates at the same initial conditions, therefore this study is a natural continuation of our previous analysis for the number densities of clusters.…”

“…Analysis of nucleation rate is a natural second step in studying the general behavior of nucleation process after the analysis of the size distribution of nuclei (Koíšek & Demo, 2009). …”
