Abstract

For the first time a model of nucleation when a transport of condensing molecules to the cluster surface is determined by their diffusion through a carrier gas is proposed. The approach in use is strongly based on the microscopic theory of nucleation put forward by the author and allows an analytical representation of the cluster's concentrations through supersaturation, gas temperature, and carrier gas pressure, which is quite new. It is shown that usual conditions of experiments in diffusion cloud chambers meet the requirements of the model validity that means this model can be used to explain a mechanism of the carrier gas pressure influence on the nucleation kinetics observed in experiments.
