Transient binary nucleation from ethanol-hexanol vapour

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

We study condensation of ethanol-hexanol vapour by numerical solution of kinetic equations. The number of droplets formed in unit volume is computed within self-consistent classical model. It is shown that formation of ethanol-rich droplets prevails at the initial stage of nucleation process, but in the stationary state formation of droplets near the saddle point (on cluster formation energy surface) plays the dominant role.
