On the Problem of Nucleation in a Supersaturated Vapor in the Presence of Heterogeneous Centers of Different Natures

The rules for constructing the analytical approximation are formulated for the law of the accumulation of the condensing substance by droplets that have emerged at centers of different natures. The accuracy of the suggested approximation is tested for the limiting cases of homogeneous nucleation and nucleation at centers of the same type. A general algorithm is constructed for describing the nucleation stage at centers of different natures after instantaneous creation of vapor supersaturation. Numerical calculations are conducted for the numbers of droplets formed at positively and negatively charged univalent ions in water vapors.
