Estimation of the nucleation probability in emulsions

A new method of determination of the nucleation probability of undercooled liquid dispersed within an emulsion is presented. The nucleation probability is a nonlinear function of the temperature depending on two parameters acting very differently. The aim of this paper is to present a method to determine these parameters by an inverse analysis of the heat transfer during the cooling of the emulsion. Information about the precision of the identification is also presented.
