Abstract

In this chapter, we study a PDE-ODE system arising from binary phase transition coupled with an energy balance to account for recalescence effects. The phase transition is described by classic arguments on nucleation and growth process. The main novelty of our work is the identification of temperature dependent nucleation rates from measurements in a subdomain. We prove the uniqueness of the parameter identification problem and numerical results support the theoretical results.
