A mathematical model in integral format is devised for the development of instant temperature at the interface between a low melting temperature solid cylindrical additive and the freezing layer of the bath material around the additive immediately after immersion of the additive in the bath. It indicates that this temperature is function of the phase change parameters, the Stefan number, S ta of the additive, and S tb of the bath material, the thermophysical property-ratio, γ and the melting temperature ratio, θ ab of the additive-bath system and gives a close form expression for the instant interface temperature, θ e. For given θ ab < 1 and the Stefan number, S ta, of the additive decreasing the Stefan number, S tb of the bath material (?nbsp;?nbsp;S tb ?nbsp;0) or increasing γ (0 ?nbsp;γ ?nbsp;? permits θ e to increase from the initial temperature of the additive to the freezing temperature of the bath material. θ e also gets increased by increasing any or both of S tb and θ ab. When the additive gets only heated after its immersion in the bath, the model of the present problem becomes exactly the same that was investigated recently validating the present problem.
