Phase transitions. ... Discontinuous transitions involve a discontinuous change in the entropy at the transition temperature. A familiar example of this type of transition is the freezing of water into ice. As water reaches the freezing point, order develops without any change in temperature. Thus there is a dicontinuous decrease in the entropy at the freezing point. 1, record 1, English, - first%2Dorder%20transition

Changements de phase. [...] P. Ehrenfest proposa, en 1933, d'appeler transitions du premier ordre les transitions s'accompagnant de discontinuités dans les grandeurs physiques, comme l'entropie, qui sont reliées à des dérivées premières de l'énergie libre, et transitions du deuxième ordre les transitions s'accompagnant de discontinuités dans les grandeurs physiques, comme la chaleur spécifique, qui sont reliées à des dérivées secondes de l'énergie libre, les dérivées premières étant continues. 1, record 1, French, - transition%20du%20premier%20ordre
