Summary
The Classical Stefan Problem: Basic Concepts, Modelling and Analysis with Quasi-Analytical Solutions and Methods, New Edition, provides fundamental theory, concepts, modelling and analysis of the physical, mathematical, thermodynamical and metallurgical properties of classical Stefan and Stefan-like problems as applied to heat transfer problems involving 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 thoroughly enriched with many appropriate references for an in-depth background reading on theorems. This new edition includes more than 400 pages of new material on quasi-analytical solutions and methods of classical Stefan and Stefan-like problems. The book aims to bridge the gap between the theoretical and solution aspects of the afore-mentioned problems.

Critics Review
“This book cannot be treated as easy reading. To fully understand its content, one must have enough knowledge in physics and must be some kind of expert in mathematics. Of course, it is not a disadvantage of the book, but an essential feature of the discussed topic. Summing up, it might be said that the book under review is an impressing monograph con taining up-to-date results in an important branch of mathematical physics.” –Zentralblatt MATH
