HOMOGENEOUS NUCLEATION - REDUCTION OF BINARY NUCLEATION TO HOMOMOLECULAR NUCLEATION

Following the original ideas presented by Volmer, Flood, Neumann and Doring we have included the concept of an average virtual monomer on the thermodynamically consistent version of the classical theory for binary homogeneous nucleation. With this concept the binary system reduces to the homomolecular system and the kinetic part of the nucleation rate can be straightforwardly evaluated.
