Where the terminology Sph Erf(x) is used to denote [Exp (x)-erfc(x)]
In addition we have one more condition at the moving phase interface which renders the problem non linear
due to the discontinuity in properties:

Convective Boundary conditions:
The same diffusion coupled system is posed, with the change that at r=a, the boundary, the radiation or
convection boundary condition is satisfied. Hence

Solutions are obtained as before, the only difference being that A2 need not be zero. All other parameters
are similar to the Dirichlet solution in form and value, excepting A

Note: For asymptotic time and large r, the Dirichlet and convective solutions are the same. Only for finite
time or radii, when A2 is not zero, is it possible to have control of the interface by variation of A2. Change
in A2 will affect the mass and heat balance at the phase interface. Carslaw and Jaeger (9 ) give another
solution of a line sink of strength Q, and claim this to be the only known solution for the cylindrical
freezing case. In addition, a constant freezing velocity solution is given.
HEAT SINK AT ORIGIN SOLUTION:
Here, a heat point source at the origin having a delta function form occurs. In effect there is a sphere of
solidifying, or melting, liquid or dendritic porous matrix and liquid.
The same equations are set up as before, the only change in the boundary conditions being due to the heat
sink Q at the origin.
