As an extended and more complete version of the primary QCD nucleation model presented in Ref. [1], the new model introduces explicitly the transition balance and formulates it in both macroscopic and microscopic descriptions. The microscopic description of the transition balance in QCD nucleation is implemented in a kinetic parton cascade model and tested for a first-order phase transition from gluons to pions in a one-dimensional expansion with Bjorken boost invariance.
