A microscopic theory of nucleation. II

Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

Using the nonequilibrium statistical operator obtained in the preceding paper of the authors [1], equations describing the kinetics of nucleation in a nonequilibrium medium are derived. A Fokker-Planck equation is found for embryo distribution functions in the number of particles, energy, momentum, and c.m. coordinates with additional random forces due to non equilibrium processes in the medium. Hydrodynamic equations are obtained for the medium with account of thermodynamic forces due to discontinuities of thermodynamic parameters at the interphase boundary. The symmetry of cross (interphase) kinetic coefficients is considered.
