Abstract

The theoretical description of the heterogeneous nucleation kinetics is presented. This description takes into account the perturbation of the vapor phase initiated by the growing droplets. The form of the density profile around the growing droplet is analyzed which leads to some special approximations. Then the process of nucleation in the whole system is described. As the result all main characteristics of the process are determined analytically.
