The condensation process of n-pentane in the throttling process is researched using the Eulerian-Eulerian method. According to the condensation characteristics of n-pentane, uniform homogeneous and heterogeneous condensation model in throttling flow is set up. The heterogeneous condensation of n-pentane vapor takes place on foreign nuclei. From the result it is found that the homogeneous condensation of n-pentane can’t occur until critical supersaturation ratio is attained in the throttle, thus heterogeneous condensation plays a dominant role in the condensation process which is completed in a very short time. The initial radius, concentration of the condensation nuclei and the back
