Question

What do you mean by peritectic phase transition?

Answer 1

Heya.

Here is your answer.

_____________________________

A peritectic transition is a transition in which a two component single phase solid is heated and transforms into a solid phase and a liquid phase.

Phase transitions occur when the thermodynamic free energy of a system is non-analytic for some choice of thermodynamic variables. This condition generally stems from the interactions of a large number of particles in a system, and does not appear in systems that are too small.
