چکیده
We study a one-phase Stefan problem for a semi-infinite material with temperaturedependent thermal conductivity and a convective term with a constant temperature boundary condition or a heat flux boundary condition of the type −q0/ √ t (q0 > 0) at the fixed face x = 0. We obtain in both cases sufficient conditions for data in order to have a parametric representation of the solution of the similarity type for t ≥ t0 > 0 with t0 an arbitrary positive time. We improve the results given in Rogers-Broadbridge, ZAMP, 39 (1988), 122-129 and Natale-Tarzia, Int. J. Eng. Sci., 41 (2003), 1685-1698 obtaining explicit solutions through the unique solution of a Cauchy problem with the time as a parameter and we also give an algorithm in order to compute the explicit solutions.

Effect of external mass transfer on activation energy of butyl oleate ester synthesis using a whole cell biocatalyst
In the present research, synthesis of butyl oleate ester from oleic acid and butanol using loofa-immobilized Rhizopus oryzae as a whole cell biocatalyst (LIC) was studied in which hexane was used as the hydrophobic solvent. Decrease of mass transfer limitations as result of the interface formation between the two immiscible substrates, positively affected on the reaction progress (87% as the es...
متن کاملHeat and Mass Transfer in Leather Drying Process
Leather manufacturing involves a crucial energy-intensive drying stage in the finishing process to remove its residual moisture. Determining drying characteristics of leather is vitally important so as to optimize the drying stage. This paper describes an analytical way for determination of the drying characteristics of leather. The model presented, is based on fundamental heat and mass tra...

This paper describes the theoretical and experimental investigations of the key components and also the performance analysis of a rotary wheel for using as a solid desiccant dehumidifier and also indirect evaporator cooling system. Solid desiccants have long been used in dehumidification and cooling systems for energy efficiency or reduce electricity. Although many mathematical models on th...
متن کاملEffect of Ambient Condition on the Shower Cooling Tower in Four Type of Climates Condition
Water cooling by ambient takes place with two mechanisms of heat and mass transfer. Using packings at wet cooling towers has disadvantages such as obstruction, reduction of life expectancy and production of algae and fungi. In shower cooling towers types of towers packings are completely removed and water intake is in direct contact and heat transfer takes place in two ways of latent and sensib...
متن کاملThe performance of bolt-reinforced and shotcreted in-stope pillar in a rockburst prone areas
Historically, the design of the in-stope pillar in underground excavations has been based on empirical formulae and numerical modelling. Although these design methods have been extensively applied in several gold mines in South Africa, rockburst, in-stope pillar burst/failure are continuously reported as the major problem faced by mines. Therefore, this study attempts to compare the performance...
