Kinetic equation of concurrent nucleation and chemical aging of an ensemble of aqueous organic aerosols
Yuri S. Djikaev, Eli Ruckenstein
Using the formalism of the classical nucleation theory, we derive a novel kinetic equation for the size and composition distribution of an ensemble of aqueous organic aerosols, evo…

Dependence of homogeneous crystal nucleation in water droplets on their radii and its implication for modeling the formation of ice particles in cirrus clouds
Yuri S. Djikaev, Eli Ruckenstein
We propose an approximation for the total ice nucleation rate J=J(T,R) in supercooled water droplets as a function of both droplet radius R and temperature T, taking account of bot…

Probabilistic approach to the length-scale dependence of the effect of water hydrogen bonding on hydrophobic hydration
Yuri S. Djikaev, Eli Ruckenstein
We present a probabilistic approach to water-water hydrogen bonding that allows one to obtain an analytic expression for the number of bonds per water molecule as a function of bot…
