Abstract
We have simulated, by using a cluster algorithm, the q=8 state Potts m odel in two dimensions with a varying amount of quenched bond randomne ss. We have shown that there exists a finite size-dependent threshold value of the introduced quenched bond randomness for rounding the firs t-order phase transition and that this threshold value becomes smaller as the system size increases.
