The aerosol module treats condensation, evaporation, nucleation, deposition and coagulation of aerosols (Baklanov 2002) as shown in Fig. 16.3a. The numerical evolution of aerosols is solved by treating the aerosol size distributions as normal distributions. However, the aerosol module as a part of the modelling system has not been routinely tested yet in the 3D version, i.e. only in OD (see Gross and Baklanov 2004) and although it was evaluated in the 3D Enviro-HILAM research version of the model (see Korsholm et al. 2008a, b). 

Figure 7b shows the time evolution of the size histogram. Nucleation builds up the histogram initially around small radii. The whole distribution shifts to the right by growth. After a while, ripening is visible in the decrease of the total number of particles and the shift of the mean radius. Notice that the shape of the histogram is none of the usually measured log-normal distribution, nor the theoretical LSW distribution. This fact is extensively discussed in ( ) and will be published in the future. 

Where a is the equivalent stress, (7y is the yield stress of the matrix material and akk is the hydrostatic stress. The parameters qi and q2 were introduced by Tvergaard to account for the effect of void interactions on the stress distribution between cavities, but are usually derived from finite element calibration of experimental curves. Damage evolution is measured by the void volume fraction f, which increases due to void nucleation and growth. Void nucleation is controlled by a normal distribution of stress or plastic strain and the modified model replaces the void volume fraction /with the modified void volume fraction /. A rapid decrease in the load carrying capacity of the material if void coalescence occurs is linked to /, such that... 

Note that U(0°,90°) was added in each case to study the convergence of the modified normal distribution and the uniform distribution at large o. Using these pp, the expected value of heterogeneous nucleation rate at each foaming simulation time step would then be calculated by Equation (4). Afterward, Nurfoam would be determined using Equation (5) to obtain cell density and cell size distribution data of each case. 

Homogeneous nucleation normally requires a supersaturated solution, while growth can occur close to the saturation concentration. Therefore rapid nucleation can occur if supersaturation is rapidly reached. This nucleation lowers the concentration of reactants below that needed to cause further nucleation. If one of the reactants is supplied at a low concentration after nucleation has occurred (such as by in situ homogeneous formation in the solution), then growth can occur without further nucleation, resulting in a narrow size distribution. 

When coke-oven or petroleum-tar pitches were heated to an appropriate temperature (about 420°C.) and quenched, the product contained spheres of various sizes mostly in the range 0-10 microns. The spheres were normally, fairly regularly distributed through the pitch matrix, with small and larger spheres intermixed. When the toluene-soluble extract of the pitch was carbonized to the same temperature, fewer spheres were present in the product, but their diameters were considerably greater. Under these conditions many spheres were more than 10 microns across, and some exceeded 50 microns. This result suggested that nucleation occurred less commonly or less easily in the toluene-soluble pitch fraction and was associated with the presence of C1 -insoluble material. 

The droplet current / calculated by nucleation models represents a limit of initial new phase production. The initiation of condensed phase takes place rapidly once a critical supersaturation is achieved in a vapor. The phase change occurs in seconds or less, normally limited only by vapor diffusion to the surface. In many circumstances, we are concerned with the evolution of the particle size distribution well after the formation of new particles or the addition of new condensate to nuclei. When the growth or evaporation of particles is limited by vapor diffusion or molecular transport, the growth law is expressed in terms of vapor flux equation, given by Maxwell s theory, or... 

Presented here is an abbreviated, possibly oversimplified view of the nucleation process under conditions normally encountered in analytical chemistry. In general, the particle-size distribution of a precipitate must be determined by the relative rates of two processes formation of nuclei and growth of nuclei.
