It may occur rapidly, as through a cooking pan, or slowly, as through the walls of a picnic ice chest. So many processes involve heat transfer that it is hard to imagine a situation where no heat transfer occurs. Yet every heat transfer takes place by only three methods: Conduction is heat transfer through stationary matter by physical contact ...

This question involves both heat for a phase change (melting of ice) and the transfer of heat by conduction. To find the amount of ice melted, we must find the net heat transferred. This value can be obtained by calculating the rate of heat transfer by conduction and multiplying by time.

To control heat and mass transfer during freezing, it is essential to understand the phase change behavior of ice crystals. However, limited research has been performed on the coupling effects involved in the kinetics of ice crystal nucleation and growth with fluid flow and heat transfer in porous media.
