Abstract

Theoretical and experimental studies have been performed on the nonequilibrium condensation of argon flowing from a supersonic nozzle; it is shown that classical nucleation theory is applicable if this incorporates the dependence of the surface tension of the drops on their radius in the description of nonequilibrium condensation in the jet. Similarity laws are derived that relate the mean cluster size to the pressure and temperature of the gas at the inlet to the nozzle.
