Abstract
The previously developed cluster model has been used for thermodynamically consistent nucleation calculations in water–methanol, water–ethanol, and water–n‐propanol systems. Besides activity plots for constant nucleation rates, comparisons of nucleation rates with available data points and comparisons of experimental and theoretical temperature dependences are also presented. The predicted nucleation rates are in most cases within 5–6 orders of magnitude from experimental values.Keywords
