Abstract

Homogeneous nucleation of liquid droplets in hot vapour stream, mixing with a cooler and dry external environment, occurs in many technological applications, ranging from the generation of filter test particles [9] to the control of fugitive emissions [10] from industrial sources (refineries), up to the young discipline of Particle Engineering in the biotech industries [19].
