Abstract

The following steps are examined in the freezing of drops in a liquid coolant: initial, crystallization of the solution, and formation of granules. A working diagram and system of equations describing the crystallization of a liquid drop of solution are presented. Investigations conducted on the freezing of saline solutions made it possible to determine the following kinetic parameters: the time and average cooling rate of drops to the crystallization temperature, as well as the time and crystallization rate of different sizes of drops of the solution, and the geometric dimensions and process parameters of the freezing plant.
