In a recent paper (1) Portnov used a form of Poisson integral to find the exact solution for the temperature distribution in a freezing semi-infinite slab occupying the region x > 0, and having an arbitrary time dependent temperature applied at the face x = 0. Previously, Boley (2) had used a method based on Duhamel's theorem to find solutions for problems involving melting, in both finite and semi-finite regions, caused by time dependent heat fluxes. Steady-state solutions have been investigated by Landau (3), Masters (4) and others (5).
