On the refined integral method for the one-phase Stefan problem with time-dependent boundary conditions

Refined integral heat balance is developed for Stefan problem with time-dependent temperature applied to exchange surface. The method is applied to phase change in the half-plane and ordinary differential equation is obtained for the solid/liquid interface. The results are compared to those obtained by heat balance integral, perturbation and numerical methods.
