This volume emphasises studies related to
classical Stefan problems. The term "Stefan problem" is
generally used for heat transfer problems with
phase-changes such
as from the liquid to the solid. Stefan problems have some
characteristics that are typical of them, but certain problems
arising in fields such as mathematical physics and engineering
also exhibit characteristics similar to them. The term
classical" distinguishes the formulation of these problems from
their weak formulation, in which the solution need not possess
classical derivatives. Under suitable...

The Classical Stefan Problem: Basic Concepts, Modelling and Analysis with Quasi-Analytical Solutions and Methods, New Edition, provides the fundamental theory, concepts, modeling, and analysis of the physical, mathematical, thermodynamical, and metallurgical properties of classical Stefan and Stefan-like problems as applied to heat transfer problems with phase-changes, such as from liquid to solid.

This self-contained work reports and derives the results from tensor analysis, differential geometry, non-equilibrium thermodynamics, physics, and functional analysis, and is...
