Abstract: The Mullins-Sekerka model for dynamical phase transitions in two-component mixtures is considered. Global growth conditions for the phase regions and the interface are obtained from underlying conservation laws. A quasi-static model is formulated and the solutions are discussed for totally isolated mixtures.
