Notes:
With the use of the heat balance integral method, a formula for the depth of solidification in a stratified medium is derived that applies to Newton's cooling at the surface, where the temperature of the cooling medium is variable. The presence of a surface layer with zero latent heat is given a special consideration. Comparison of the proposed formula with the direct field measurements and the calculations carried out by others shows a satisfactory coincidence. For the simplified boundary conditions, the formular reduces to a known analytical solution.
