Heat conduction plays an important role in energy transfer at the macro, micro and nano scales. This book collates research results developed by scientists from different countries but with common research interest in the modelling of heat conduction problems. The results reported encompass heat conduction problems related to the Stefan problem, phase change materials related to energy consumption in buildings, the porous media problem with Bingham plastic fluids, thermosolutal convection, rewetting problems and fractional models with singular and non-singular kernels. The variety of analytical and numerical techniques used includes the classical heat-balance integral method in its refined version, double-integration technique and variational formulation applied to the integer-order and fractional models with memories.
