Abstract
Solutions of similarity-type for a nonlinear non-classical Stefan problem with temperaturedependent thermal conductivity and a Robin boundary condition are obtained. The analysis of several particular cases are given when the thermal conductivity L(f) and specific heat N(f) are linear in temperature such that L(f) = alpha + delta f with N(f) = beta + gamma f. Existence of a similarity type solution also obtained for the general problem by proving the lower and upper bounds of the solution.
