Simplified multicomponent phase transition model
A method is presented that will allow one to generate approximate solutions to N- component phase transition problems. There are N-1 species equations and one energy equation, coupled at the phase transition interface by a thermodynamic relationship. The equivalent Couette flow boundary layer equations are utilized to relate the mass and energy fluxes to the overall driving forces. Various simplifying assumptions are made; however, the method is sufficiently general that no simplifying assumptions need be made. A completely rigorous treatment would only introduce additional nonlinearity into the system, rather than change the method.
