Nucleation stage of multicomponent bubbles of gases dissolved in a decompressed liquid.

A new kinetic analysis of degassing and swelling of a decompressed liquid solution with several dissolved gases has been presented. The analysis has been performed for the nucleation stage of formation and growth of supercritical gas bubbles in a closed system under conditions of a limited availability of the dissolved species. The nucleation stage is an important stage of degassing, on which a certain size distribution of gas bubbles is formed, being the starting point for further growth.
