   Abstract:
   In this paper we describe the thin-film melting of a block of solid phase-change material (the bearing) around a rotating cylinder (the shaft). The method is based on contact melting theory, which combines the Reynolds thin-film lubrication theory with an analysis of phase-change heat transfer in the melt.
