Abstract
This paper deals with a phase transition model in which the energy balance is equivalently rewritten in terms of the entropy balance. The thermodynamical consistence of the model is proved and also under physically meaningful assumptions on the data, existence of a solution is stated for the corresponding initial boundary values problem by a maximum principle. Hence, L^1^‐arguments yield the uniqueness of the solution and show that it evolves in accordance with thermodynamics and everyday practical properties. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The isothermal coniinement transition in the early Universc is trcatcd. For the bag model equation of state a very large entropy production is found at sufficiently large supercooling. This trcnicndous entropy increase can signiiicantly dilute the primordial monopole or baryon to cntropy ratio.
The design and operation of an automated density balance are outlined. Diverse uses for this equipment are discussed.
