| In a fluid, solid-liquid [[phase transitions]] are thought of as being governed
| |
| mainly by [[entropy]]. This is at variance with the [[Gas-liquid_phase_transitions | gas-liquid phase transition]], which is mainly governed by [[Internal_energy | energy]].
| |
|
| |
| This point of view is supported by the solid-liquid transition being not being greatly dependent
| |
| on the [[temperature]], but on the [[density]]. Accordingly, the [[Hard_sphere_model | hard sphere fluid]], for which temperature does not enter at all, exhibits a [[Hard_sphere_model#Liquid-solid_transition | solid-liquid transition]].
