Mathematical Modeling Of Melting And Freezing Processes

Presents mathematical models of melting and solidification processes that are the key to the effective performance of latent heat thermal energy storage systems, utilized in a wide range of heat transfer and industrial applications.
This book begins with a precise formulation of the J. Stefan problem for a melting/freezing process, based on the underlying physical processes taking place. It is devoted to the numerical simulation of phase change processes.
