We present a theory for the description of energy relaxation in a nonequilibrium condensate of bosonic particles. The approach is based on coupling to a thermal bath of other particles (e.g., phonons in a crystal, or noncondensed atoms in a…

Heat can flow from cold to hot at any phase separation. Therefore Lynden-Bell's gravo-thermal catastrophe must be reconsidered. The original objects of Thermodynamics, the separation of phases at first order phase transitions, like boiling…
We study self-similar solutions of a multi-phase Stefan problem, first in the case of one space variable, and then in the radial multidimensional case. In both these cases we prove that a nonlinear algebraic system for determination of the…
