The homogeneous nucleation of three supersaturated alcohol vapors carried in argon is investigated experimentally. A gasdynamic shock tube method serves to subject the vapors to short supersaturation pulses. The growing nuclei are detected in number and size by Mie-light scattering. The results provide the supersaturation over a wide range of temperature for the nucleation rate of 108 cm−3 s−1. Comparison with the classical nucleation theory (CNT) exhibits increasing divergence with decreasing temperature.
