Similarity solutions for thawing processes with a convective boundary condition
Andrea N. Ceretani,
Domingo A. Tarzia
Abstract:Similarity solutions for a one-dimensional mathematical model for thawing in a saturated semi-infinite porous media is considered when change of phase induces a density jump and a convective boundary condition is imposed at the fixed face x = 0. Different cases depending on physical parameters are analysed and an explicit solution of a similarity type is obtained if and only if an inequality for data is verified. Moreover, a monotony property respect to the coefficient which characterizes the heat transfer at … Show more
