β¦ Synopsis
Using data derived from computer calculations, exact solutions and quasi-stationary approximations, relations for the total melt time and average surface heat flux are given for a lump of phase change material (PCM) subject to a constant temperature at its boundary, and initially at critical temperature.

The present study addressed the problem of unsteady heat conduction in simple bodies exposed to a uniform heat flux at the surface (Neumann boundary condition). The exact series solutions have been computed with a symbolic algebra code permitting the construction of accurate temperature-time diagram
