spelling oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/4912 Mathematical modelling of unsteady contact melting Muchatibaya, Gift Myers, Timothy G Mitchell, S L Mathematics and Applied Mathematics Includes abstract. Includes bibliographical references (leaves 115-122). The work in this thesis deals with the heat transfer and fluid flow problem encountered in the analysis of an unsteady contact melting process. Chapters 2 and 3 deal with only the heat transfer problem without fluid flow. In Chapter 2 the pre-melting problem is treated. The focus is to obtain the best approximate analytical solution to be used in the melting phase where there are no known exact solutions. The approximate solutions are constructed using the heat balance integral method. 2014-07-31T08:08:59Z 2014-07-31T08:08:59Z 2008 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/4912 eng application/pdf Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics Faculty of Science University of Cape Town
