Homogeneous nucleation rates of n-pentanol measured in an upward thermal diffusion cloud chamber

Homogeneous nucleation rates of n-pentanol as functions of both supersaturation and temperature were measured in two different upward thermal diffusion cloud chambers, by research groups in Prague and Baltimore. The measurements were made at temperatures between 280 K and 320 K. The nucleation rates obtained are compared to the rates measured by Luijten et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 106, 4152 (1997)], by Hrubý et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 104, 5181 (1996)], and by Strey et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 84, 2325 (1986)]. Fair agreement between our data and the data obtained by the other authors also was found.
