Sinopsis

An analytic and experimental investigation of the condensation characteristics of rubidium, cesium and mercury in a carrier gas was conducted. The alkali metals were found to condense in an apparent homogeneous context; mercury did not. It was found that the aerosol formed by the alkalis would serve as condensation sites for the mercury to condense in a heterogeneous context. The agreement between theory and experiment in the case of the alkalis was satisfactory insofar as pressure effects and condensation character was concerned. The pressure effects observed for the heterogeneous condensation of mercury were less than expected for the conditions of test.
