Abstract
A new numerical method is reported for the solution of the condensation—evaporation equation, a first-order hyperbolic equation. The solution and properties of the nonlinear integrodifferential equation arising when the mass of the condensing vapor is conserved are discussed. For aerosol evolution in the conserved case it is shown that there develops an asymptotic regime analogous to the asymptotic behavior found for the coagulation process.
