A Stefan problem for composite materials with an arbitrary number of moving phase-transition boundaries by E. L. Kuznetsova, S. I. Zhavoronok

“…A Stefan problem of heat transfer in semi-infinite bodies with an arbitrary number of unsteady moving boundaries during phase transitions was solved. Such problems arise when composite materials are heated at high temperatures, causing the binding agents to decompose (destruct) thermally, which leads to the formation of moving boundaries in the onset and end of phase transitions, mass transfer, etc. …”
