title: Influence of vapor depletion on nucleation rate.
abstract: During condensation in finite systems part of molecules is transformed from supersaturated mother phase to a new one and depletion of the mother phase occurs. Kinetic equations describing homogeneous nucleation process including decrease of supersaturation are solved numerically. It is shown that dependency of nucleation rate on nucleus size reaches some maximum, which decreases with time and moves to higher nucleus sizes. Nucleation rate is negative for undercritical size of nuclei.
