Concentration of water complexes in description of the nucleation process by small sets of chemical kinetics equations

摘要

Small sets of chemical reactions involving four water monomers with real values of the rate constants and concentrations are discussed. The steady states and the molecular complex concentrations as functions of the total concentration and the rate constants of the reactions between dimers are examined. It is found that the concentrations of complexes in their approach to a steady state pass through a state with very slowly changing concentrations.
