Summary

THIS INVOLVES THE SOLUTION TO HEAT TRANSFER PROBLEMS IN WHICH FREEZING OR MELTING TAKES PLACE. THE PROBLEM IS SIMPLIFIED BY THE INTERCHANGE OF ENTHALPY AS A WHOLE RATHER THAN THE STUDY OF SEPARATE LIQUID AND SOLID CHANGING SITUATIONS. THE DRAWBACK OF THE METHOD HAS BEEN IN THE PREDICTION OF THE MOVEMENT OF THE PHASE CHANGE POINT AND AN IMPROVEMENT TO THIS IS SUGGESTED. AN EXAMPLE IS SHOWN TAKING THE CASE OF GROUND FREEZING, AND THE EXAGGERATED BEHAVIOUR OF THE ORIGINAL GOODRICH METHOD ILLUSTRATES THE REMEDIAL REQUIREMENTS SUGGESTED BY VOLLER ET AL. D.W.H.
