In a recent paper the authors give upper and lower bounds for the motion of the moving boundary for the classical Stefan problem for plane, cylindrical and spherical geometries. On comparison with the exact Neumann solution for the plane geometry and no surface radiation the bounds obtained are seen to be quite adequate for practical purposes except for the lower bound at small Stefan numbers. Here improved lower bounds are obtained which in some measure remove this inadequacy. Time dependent surface conditions are also examined and the new lower bounds obtained for the classical problem are illustrated numerically.
