Description for The Classical Stefan Problem. Basic Concepts, Modelling and Analysis.
hardcover. The term 'Stefan problem' is generally used for heat transfer problems with phase-changes. This book emphasises studies related to classical Stefan problems and reports the basic concepts and analysis of classical Stefan problems. It derives the modified Gibbs-Thomson relation on the basis of some thermodynamical and metallurgical considerations. Series: North-Holland Series in Applied Mathematics & Mechanics. Num Pages: 404 pages, bibliography, index. BIC Classification: PBW. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 229 x 156 x 22. Weight in Grams: 782.
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 assumptions, a weak solution could be as good as a classical solution. In hyperbolic Stefan problems, the characteristic ... Read more

Reviews for The Classical Stefan Problem. Basic Concepts, Modelling and Analysis.
"The book is well organized, so that, in spite of its complexity, the exposition is seemingly effortless and reading is greatly facilitated by a very judicions mixing of phemenomenology and mathematics. A book like this, bridging physics and mathematics in a concrete and readable way, was very much needed. Prof. Gupta's book fulfills that task nicely."
