We explain the observed specific heat anomaly (and hence entropy change) in the colossal magnetoresistive manganite Sm0.55Sr0.45MnO3, by introducing phase separation into the current carrier density collapse theory via the notion of the ferromagnetic volume fraction. Within the same framework, we have also been able to explain the observed electrical resistivity of Sm0.55Sr0.45MnO3 by using appropriate expressions governing the scattering mechanisms far away from the transition. Fitting specific heat and resistivity results has allowed us to separate the hopping activation energy of polaronic carriers and the bipolaron binding energy contributions to the exponential behaviour of resistivity in the paramagnetic phase.
