Exact similarity solutions for melting heat transfer in steady laminar flow over a flat plate were collected from the diffusional mass transfer literature to provide solutions for Prandtl numbers from 0.001 to 100. An exact closed-form solution is introduced for the case of melting in porous media. The results are presented and discussed in such a way as to emphasize the similarity between melting and diffusional mass transfer.
