From: Bubbles to Chondrites-I. Evaporation and condensation experiments, and formation of chondrules
Upper panel: Temperature profile of the expanding vapor (Texp,vap: solid line), and those of ejected jet-droplets (Tdrop) with a constant product of aVe=2×10−3 m2 s −1, starting from 3000 K as functions of the normalized radius, r/r0. Four r0 values (0.03, 0.1, 0.3, and 1 m) are selected for the radius of duston. The temperature profile of the expanding vapor is independent of the duston’s normalized radius. Teqv is the condensation temperature of a saturated silicate vapor whose pressure is equivalent to that of the expanding vapor, shown in the lower panel. Lower panel: Pressure profile of the adiabatically expanding vapor (Pexp,vap). Teqv is higher than the droplet temperatures, meaning that the expanding vapor is always supersaturated for the droplets
