Among the multifaceted applications of heat conduction problem there principle, say classical, problems that are always challenging to develop new solutions, among them: transient heat conductions with non-linear heat conductivities, Stefan problems, phase change materials, porous media heat conduction with convection, etc. This collection of studies arranged as a book was suggested by the publisher and when we, the editors, were invited there was an ambiguity what exactly to be included as topic. Then, we decided to invite authors who are appearing in journal publications and the responses as chapters arranged in this book clearly indicate what some of the modern trend in conduction studies are. Following these introductory notes we may mention three chapters applying the integral-balance method, which is one of the most powerful engineering methods in heat conduction. In Chapter 1, Bolati et al. applied different approximations for the one- dimensional one-phase Stefan problem corresponding to the fusion process of a semi-infinite material with a temperature boundary condition at the fixed face and non-linear temperature-dependent thermal conductivity. A refined balance integral method, assuming a quadratic temperature profile in space is successfully applied. Agrawal and Sahu, in Chapter 2, applied the variational integral method to analyze variety of rewetting problems. The analysis is extended to include the effect of precursory cooling, variation in heat transfer in multiple step functions, exponential functions and variation in property. Based on the viii Jordan Hristov and Rachid Bennacer analysis, closed form solution for the temperature field and rewetting velocity are developed. In Chapter 3, Hristov applied a constitutive approach to modeling of heat shock waves described by the diffusion approximation in radiation heat transfer in terms of time fractional derivatives. Approximate closed-form analytical solutions by a double integration method concerning a step change of the surface temperature and two classical problems with time-dependent boundary are developed for special case of time-depended boundary conditions. Avci et al. (Chapter 4), considered the heat conduction equation in terms of Caputo-Fabrizio operator with a nonsingular exponential kernel in problems formulated in a line segment. The solutions developed by the Laplace transform in time and the finite sin-Fourier transform in space allowed demonstrating the effect of the fractional parameters controlling the memory kernel, thus, elucidating what really as physics the Caputo-Fabrizio operator models in heat conduction. In Chapter 5, Raguii et al. summarize some recent results on the conduction-limit impact within a double-diffusive convection of a Bingham plastic fluid which occurs within a Silicon Carbide Ceramic annulus; contained between a cold “and less concentric” outer circular cylinder and a hot “and concentric” inner one. Predictions of a such critical limit, into these few pages, will be a function of some relevant parameters; such as the boundary layers’ ratio, known generally as Lewis number and the thermosolutal buoyancy one; which is a pure relation between the thermosolutal gradients and its expansion coefficients, as long as the geometry aspect ratio is developed. Abahri and Ma consider in Chapter 6 the current state of knowledge related to transport of heat, fluid (air) and mass (moisture) in porous construction materials. Finally, Ma et al. (Chapter 7) consider the energy storage properties of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) related to energy consumption in buildings. Analytical solution in semi-infinity domain, a short time solution in 2D rectangular corner, a semi-analytical solution for a bounded domain, the multi- phase problem in a Cartesian domain, and the phase change problem in a cylindrical domain are developed. After these brief outlines of the main results presented in the chapters collected we may express out warm appreciations to all author contributing the book. Moreover, last but not least, we like to express our gratitude to the publishing office for their understanding about the problems emerging during
