Notes:
The kinetic molecular model (KMM) was applied to recently reported extensive measurements of condensation flux levels developed under homogeneous conditions from supersaturated vapors of water and n-pentanol, in inert gas carriers. These data span wide ranges in temperatures and critical supersaturations (css). The calculated fluxes reproduced those observed (defined: number of droplets generated per cm3-s) within a factor 2, utilizing a narrow range of adjustable parameters. From the derived kinetic and thermochemical parameters one may derive estimates of size-dependent entropies for clusters. Thus, the derived entropy per mole of a 13 unit cluster of water molecules, at 233 K, is 233 eu. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
