STABILITY ANALYSIS OF ONE-DIMENSIONAL FREEZING-MELTING MODELS
Sinopsis
This paper deals with the stability of one-dimensional
conduction problems with change of
phase. The following cases are considered: (a) a
sharp interface exists between the two phases w1th
conduction alone, (b) a two-phase zone occurs
between the phases with heat transfer due to
conduction and concentration gradients, and (c) a
sharp interface exists between the two phases but
with conduction as well as lateral convect1ve heat
transfer. Linear stability analyses are made for
each of these cases arriving at the characteristic
stability equations, approximate solutions to which
are presented.
