Stefan number
text:
The Stefan number is defined as the ratio of sensible heat to latent heat. It is given by the formula S t e = c p Δ T L , where cp is the specific heat,
cp is the specific heat of solid phase in the freezing process while cp is the specific heat of liquid phase in the melting process.
∆T is the temperature difference between phases,
L is the latent heat of melting. It is a dimensionless parameter that is useful in analyzing a Stefan problem. The parameter was developed from Josef Stefan's calcul
