Abstract: The theory for the multicomponent nonisothermal nucleation is constructed. It is shown that the Fokker–Plank description is not suitable and a new more advanced description is formulated. The differential kinetic equation for this process is derived and solved by the Chapman–Enskog procedure. The relaxation stage is described without any special limitations on the power of thermal effects. The further evolution is investigated with the help of a new way to cut off the tails of decompositions which appeared in the Chapman–Enskog procedure. As a result all main characteristics for the nucleation process are established analytically. The comparison with experimantal results and already presented theories is given.
