“…Unfortunately, typical transient time of nucleation process for condensation is too short (in order of 10 −7 s) and thus direct comparison with experimental data is not possible due to lack of experimental data. Similarly as in our previous works (Koíšek & Demo, 2005;Koíšek et al, 2006;Koíšek & Demo, 2007) we have chosen as a model system condensation of ethanol vapor at T = 260 K, P 0 = 598.26 Pa, = 0.025 J m −2 , and = 817.5 kg m −3 . Condensation of ethanol vapor was measured to determine the stationary nucleation rate (Kacker & Heist, 1985;Peters & Paikert, 1989;Schmitt, Adams, & Zalabsky, 1982;Strey & Viisanen, 1993) or critical supersaturation (Katz & Ostermier, 1967).…”
