## Abstract

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics formalism is proposed to derive the flux of grainy (bubbles-containing) matter, emerging in a nucleation growth process. Some power and non-power limits, due to the applied potential as well as owing to basic correlations in such systems, have been discussed. Some encouragement for such a discussion comes from the fact that the nucleation and growth processes studied, and their kinetics, are frequently reported in literature as self-similar (characteristic of algebraic correlations and laws) both in basic entity (grain; bubble) size as well as time scales.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
