Abstract

The process of multicomponent condensation is considered. The theory taking into account several channels of nucleation is constructed. The analytical approximate description of the whole condensation process is given. The specific phenomena of the secondary nucleation is described analytically. The possibility of the partial reverse condensation is discussed.
