Thermochemical and kinetic parameters for hydrogen bonded clusters, derived from avalanche condensation flux measurements
The kinetic molecular model (KMM) was applied to recently reported extensive measurements of condensation flux levels developed under homogeneous conditions from supersaturated vapors of water and n-pentanol, in inert gas carriers. These data span wide ranges in temperatures and critical supersaturations (css). The calculated fluxes reproduced those observed (defined: number of droplets generated per cm(3)-s) within a factor 2, utilizing a narrow range of adjustable parameters. From the derived kinetic and thermochemical parameters one may derive estimates of size-dependent entropies for clusters. Thus, the derived entropy per mole of a 13 unit cluster of water molecules, at 233 K, is 233 eu.
