The dynamical development of the cooling and hadronizing quark-gluon Plasma (QGP) is studied in a simple model assuming critical fluctuations in the QGP to Hadronic Matter (HM) and a first order transition in a small finite system. We consider an earlier determined free-energy density curve in the neighbourhood of the critical point, with two local minima corresponding to the equilibrium hadronic and QGP configurations. In this approach the divergence at e = 0 eliminates fluctuations with negative or zero energy. The barrier between the equilibrium states is obtained from an estimated value of the surface tension between the two phases. We obtain a characteristic behavior for the skewness and the kurtosis of energy density fluctuations, which can be studied via a beam energy scan program.
