Abstract

The nucleation of the vapor phase in superheated nitrogen-helium liquid solutions was studied by lifetime measurements. The temperature dependences of the mean lifetime of metastable solutions were obtained at p = 0.5 and 1.0 MPa and several concentrations. The nucleation rate J was found to vary from 104 to 108 s−1 m−3. The adsorption of the high-volatility component on the metastable liquid-critical bubble boundary was shown to play a determining role in decreasing the temperature of the attainable solution super-heating as the solution concentration increased. The experimental data were compared with homogeneous nucleation theory. Systematic discrepancies were obtained; these discrepancies were related to the influence of the size effect on the surface tension of a nucleus and the work of its formation
