Abstract
A theory of grain size distribution in nucleation and growth reactions described by the KOLMOGOROV model is developed. The distribution of agglomerates of growing and impinging nuclei is explicitely calculated for the two cases of heterogeneous and homogeneous nucleation. The results are compared and discussed with respect to the investigation of the nucleation mechanism in crystallization processes.Keywords
