摘要
A novel method of measuring the rate of nucleation of superheated drops and also the lifetime of metastable superheated drops accurately has been developed. The lifetime of superheated drops of Freon-12 has been determined by measuring the time dependence of the volume of vapour formed due to spontaneous nucleation of the drops using a relative water manometer. The time dependence of the nucleated volume of vapour indicates the presence of two lifetimes of decay of superheated droplets by spontaneous nucleation. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
