Transitional aggregation kinetics in dry and damp environments
Transitional aggregation kinetics in dry and damp environments
We investigate the kinetics of constant-kernel aggregation which is augmented by (a) evaporation of monomers from clusters, which is termed aggregation in a ``dry'' environment, and (b) continuous cluster growth or condensation, termed aggregation in a ``damp'' environment. The rate equations for these two processes are analyzed using both exact …
