Abstract
A description is given of a theoretical treatment of nucleation in flowing steam employing an equation of state based on the second virial coefficient. Comparison is made with experimental observations of reversion in the pressure range 2–35 bars of steam in a convergent-divergent nozzle of expansion rate P = 104 s-1. The agreement obtained is moderate.Keywords
