We have numerically solved kinetic equations describing formation of nuclei on active centers to determine the total number of nuclei, nucleation rate and the number densities of nuclei near critical size. Results of our model were compared with experimental data for polymer crystal nucleation of polyethylene on nucleation agent. Our model predicts are in good coincidence with experimental data.
