Exact solution for the solidification of a liquid slab of binary mixture. Final Report, 2 January 1985

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5701844
The time dependent temperature and concentration profiles of a one dimensional finite slab of a binary liquid alloy is investigated during solidification. The governing equations are reduced to a set of coupled, nonlinear initial value problems using the method outlined by Meyer. Two methods will be used to solve these equations. The first method uses a Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg integrator to solve the equations numerically. The second method comprises of finding closed form solutions of the equations.
