Abstract:
In this theoretical study, we investigate the impact of density differences between the growing new phase and the parent phase on the overall transformation degree. By extending Kolmogorov's formalism, we derive an expression for the overall volume transformation degree, which becomes relevant when density differences are not negligible. We demonstrate that the volume and mass transformation degrees differ in the presence of density differences and provide an expression for the mass transformation degree.

A substance melts or freezes at a temperature called its melting point and boils or condenses at its boiling point. These temperatures depend on pressure. High pressure favors the denser form of the substance, so typically, high pressure...
