“…The difficulty in accurately measuring σ arises from uncertainties in estimating heat and mass transfer resistances and the interfacial temperature in the presence of latent heat transfer [41][42][43] , since vapour pressure is a strong function of temperature. As a result, experimental estimates even in relatively recent studies (since 1989) are scattered over almost two orders of magnitude (0.01 to 1) 31,34,[44][45][46][47] .…”

“…In a nonequilibrium process the bulk vapor velocity at the interface can affect these average molecular velocity distributions (Scharge 1953;Mills and Seban 1967) and accounting for this effect modifies the growth rate expressions. Young (1991), however, noted that the effect is easily nullified by small changes in the droplet temperature.…”

The growth rates of nonane and D 2 O nanodroplets produced in supersonic expansions are characterized using small angle Xray scattering (SAXS) and pressure trace measurements (PTM). The experimental growth rates are compared to the predictions of a Hertz-Knudsen model that assumes either isothermal or nonisothermal droplet growth in the free molecular regime. For nonane, the predicted growth rates are insensitive to both droplet temperature and the evaporation coefficient, and agree well with the experimentally measured growth rates assuming a condensation coefficient of 1. For D 2 O, droplet growth rates are quite sensitive to droplet temperature, and the best agreement between experiments and theory are achieved for a condensation coefficient of 1 and an evaporation coefficient in the range from 0.5 to 1. Under our experimental conditions, incorporating coagulation is important to match the measured D 2 O growth rates but not those of nonane.
