The integral equation describing the nucleation and growth of bubbles in a supersaturated binary liquid mixture under constant expansion rate is considered. In case of macroscopically large number of microscopic nucleation sites, the solution is shown to exhibit weak dependence on the expansion rate in contradiction with experimental data. With few nucleation sites, the supersaturation extremum agrees with experimental data
