The Stefan number[1] (StorSte) is defined as the ratio of sensible heattolatent heat. It is given by the formula

where

It is a dimensionless parameter that is useful in analyzing a Stefan problem. The parameter was developed from Josef Stefan's calculations of the rate of phase changeofwater into ice on the polar ice caps and coined by G.S.H. Lock in 1969.[2] The problems origination is fully described by Vuik[3] and further commentary on its place in Josef Stefan's larger career can be found in [4]
