The homogeneous nucleation of bubbles in superheated binary liquid mixtures

It is shown how to apply homogeneous nucleation theory to predict the limits of superheat of multicomponent liquid mixtures. Measurements of such limits for n ‐pentane‐ n ‐hexane, n ‐hexane‐cyclohexane, benzene‐cyclohexane, and benzene‐ n ‐hexane mixtures as a function of composition are presented and compared with theory.
