drops may induce mist formation. Muitjens et al. 1 showed that the condensation in the gas
mixture is a nonequilibrium phase change of the higher alkanes, such as nonane and
decane, which are present in the mixture besides the main components methane and
nitrogen. From the strong deviation from vapor–liquid phase equilibrium of the onset points
of condensation measured in a Wilson cloud chamber, it was concluded that droplets were …
