Integral formulations for the three classical single phase Stefan problems involving the infinite slab and inward solidifying cylinders and spheres are utilized to generate standard analytical approximations. These approximations include the pseudo steady state estimate, large Stefan number expansions, upper and lower bounds, approximations based on integral iteration and related results such as formal series solutions. In order to demonstrate the applicability and limitations of the integral formulations three generalizations of the classical stefan problem are considered briefly. These problems are diffusion with two simultaneous chemical reactions, a Stefan problem with two moving boundaries and the genuine two phase Stefan problem.
