Abstract

A model is presented describing vapor depletion and latent heat effects accompanying the nucleation and growth of droplets during homogeneous nucleation in a thermal diffusion cloud chamber. The model explains successfully the oscillatory nucleation phenomenon reported earlier by the authors in this Journal.
