Abstract
Review the concepts of phase diagrams and the equilibrium conditions that apply at an interface between two phases. Introduce the different scales of a process and the local transformation path concept. Derive the average continuity equations for two phases. Describe the convection and radiation contributions that intervene in hear transfer phenomena. Present the numerical methods for tracking an interface and those related to the average equations. Apply these methods to the modelling of processes and the calculation of microstructures.
