“…These results are consistent with previous observations that overall primary nucleation rates (per vessel) JV at given supersaturation and temperature can be expected to depend not only on solution volume V but also on the solution agitation and resulting fluid shear, 13,25−27 as well as solution interfacial area and materials of construction involved. 24,28,29 We can also see that the characteristic times of primary nucleation kinetics under conditions investigated here, which can be expressed as 1/JV, are 87 and 25 min for S = 1.14 and 1.18, respectively, and as will be seen below, the primary nucleation kinetics is therefore much slower than the secondary nucleation kinetics under these conditions.…”
