Nucleation is the initial step of every first-order phase
transition, and most phase transitions encountered both in everyday
life and industrial processes are of the first-order. Using an
elegant classical theory based on thermodynamics and kinetics, this
book provides a fully detailed picture of multi-component
nucleation. As many of the issues concerning multi-component
nucleation theory have been solved during the last 10-15 years, it
also thoroughly integrates both fundamental theory with recent
advances presented in the literature. Classical Nucleation Theory
in Multicomponent Systems serves as a textbook for advanced
thermodynamics courses, as well as an important reference for
researchers in the field. The main topics covered are: the basic
relevant thermodynamics and statistical physics; modelling a
molecular cluster as a spherical liquid droplet; predicting the
size and composition of the nucleating critical clusters; kinetic
models for cluster growth and decay; calculating nucleation rates;
and a full derivation and application of nucleation theorems that
can be used to extract microscopic cluster properties from
nucleation rate measurements. The assumptions and approximations
needed to build the classical theory are described in detail, and
the reasons why the theory fails in certain cases are explained.
Relevant problems are presented at the end of each chapter.
