In this paper we prove the existence of metastable solutions to a general thermodynamically consistent mass-conserving Becker–Döring model which incorporates an inert substance. We make use of the methods for the standard model discussed by Penrose in 1989. We include an efficient numerical algorithm for approximating the thermodynamically consistent models.
