Kinetic effects of multi-component nucleation

The process of multicomponent condensation is considered. The global evolution of a metastable state originally created in the system has been investigated. Kinetic description of the ordinary one channel nucleation has been corrected. The theory taking into account several channels of nucleation is constructed. The analytical approximate description of the whole condensation process including the change of channels is given. The specific phenomena of the secondary nucleation is outlined and described analytically. The possibility of the temporary partial reverse condensation and the methods to describe it have been discussed.
