In this paper, we consider the glass transition as a kinetic process and establish
one universal equation for the pressure coefficient of the glass transition
temperature, dTg/dp, which is a thermodynamic characteristic of this
process. Our findings challenge the common previous expectations concerning key
characteristics of the transformation from the liquid to the glassy state, because
it suggests that without employing an additional condition, met in the glass
transition, derivation of the two independent equations for dTg/dp is not
possible. Hence, the relation among the thermodynamic coefficients, which could be
equivalent to the well-known Prigogine-Defay ratio for the process under
consideration, cannot be obtained. Besides, by comparing the predictions of our
universal equation for dTg/dp and Ehrenfest equations, we find the
aforementioned supplementary
restriction, which must be met to use the Prigogine-Defay ratio for the glass
transition.
