Popis: Recently, the accuracy of vapor nucleation rate measurements has increased substantially. However, when experimental conditions become close to the values to the critical parameters of investigated systems, significant discrepancies were found between the experimental results and theoretical predictions. Some studies have found agreement between results and theory only within a narrow range of nucleation conditions. Therefore, it is appropriate to investigate the nucleation of additional systems to obtain new information to guide nucleation theory development. Alcohols are the most studied class of chemical compounds, but currently there are no experimental data on n-octanol vapor nucleation. The present study is devoted to the investigations of the homogeneous nucleation of the n-octanol in sulfur hexafluoride. Comparison of the critical pressures for binary mixture with the Laplace pressure calculated in the droplet approximation using the bulk liquid surface tension shows that the carrier gas has a mor...
