Lagrangian transformation introduced in an earlier paper is here employed to give upper and lower bounds for the growth of a vapour film at the surface of a plate subjected to a monotonic, but otherwise arbitrary, surface temperature or heat flux condition.

โฆ Synopsis
An apparently new similarity transformation is presented for a class of extended onedimensional Stefan problems involving phase density variations, such as vaporization of liquid at the surface of a rapidly-heated plate: After transforming to Lagrangian coordinates, a similarity variable is introduced, and appropriate initial and boundary conditions deduced. The resulting ordinary differential equation is numerically integrated, and is also solved by a method of successive approximations after conversion into a non-linear Volterra integral equation. Solutions are presented for both saturated and subcooled initial liquid temperatures.

In the present work we consider a model for the evolution of a thin nonpolar liquid film on a coated solid surface under the action of attractive and repulsive molecular forces governed by a 3-4 power-law potential, rather than the Lennard-Jones 3-9 potential employed for an ideal plane interface (m
