N2 - A new comprehensive analysis of Stefan’s flow caused by a free growing droplet in the vapor-gas atmosphere with several condensing components is presented. This analysis, based on the nonstationary heat and material balance and diffusion transport equations, shows the appearance of the Stefan inflow in the vicinity of the growing droplet and the Stefan outflow at large distances from the droplet as a consequence of nonisothermal condensation. For an ensemble of droplets in the atmospheric cloud, this outflow provides an increase of the total volume of the cloud, which can be treated as cloud thermal expansion and leads to the rise of the cloud as a whole due to increasing its buoyancy.
