✦ Synopsis

The cooling and solidification of melted drops during their movement in an immiscible cooling medium is widely employed for granulation in the chemical industry, and a study of these processes to provides a basis for the design of the granulation tower height and the temperature of the cooling medium is reported. A physical model of the cooling and solidification of the drop is established and the numerical calculation is performed. The influences of the key factors in the solidification, i.e., Bi number, drop diameter, temperature of the cooling medium, etc. are presented. The cooling and solidification during wax granulation in a water-cooling tower and during urea granulation in an air-cooling tower (spraying tower) are described in detail. Characteristics of the solidification and temperature distribution within the particle at different times are shown. The model and calculations can be used for structure design of the granulation tower and optimization of the operation parameters.

## Abstract This paper describes the response of a solid–liquid interface in a water‐saturated porous box to a time‐varying cooling temperature. Spherical soda glass beads with an average diameter of 5 mm constitute a porous matrix. The lower boundary of the matrix is kept at 8Β°C at all times durin
