Abstract A simplified model for the calculation of the maximum possible cluster size in expanding nozzle flows, assuming a coagulation growth, is presented. For this model we assume seeded beams with lean mixtures, where the ratio of carrier gas pressure to vapour pressure is much larger than one. In this case the heat of condensation is effectively absorbed by the carrier gas. To estimate the maximum possible cluster size it is assumed that every collision of condensable material contributes to the cluster growth. The cluster sizeN, which is the number of monomers or atoms per cluster, is then given by the number of cluster-cluster collisionsZ N by the relation $$N = 2^{Z_N } $$ .
