THE USE OF A DIFFUSION CLOUD CHAMBER TO CHARACTERIZE CONDENSATION NUCLEI

Daphne Schiff, H. I. Schiff, P. Gendron

Abstract

The original Langsdorf diffusion cloud chamber has been modified so that the temperature gradient obtained can be controlled. The supersaturations thus produced can be calculated from a diffusion equation. The effectiveness of various inorganic nuclei in causing condensation in this supersaturated vapor has been studied.
