Size distribution of nuclei in a closed system.
Kinetic equations describing the formation of nuclei from a supersaturated vapor in a closed system are solved numerically to determine the size distribution of nuclei at various times. Depletion of vapor phase during phase transition process is taken into account. Evolution of the size distribution of nuclei is analyzed. Due to the decrease of the supersaturation of the vapor phase, a maximum appears in the size distribution of nuclei, which disappears at sufficiently long time. Supersaturation of the mother phase decreases to a value close to 1.
