Abstract

A continual model based on the concepts of the classical theory of phase transformations has been proposed for the first-order phase transition. Using this model, a general formula that relates the relative volume of the initial phase to the temperature varying in the time is obtained. The corresponding formula is also constructed for the case of linear temperature rise. An experimental scheme allowing the fractal dimension and the surface tension of newphase aggregates to be determined is proposed.
