A similarity solution for solidification of an undercooled binary alloy is developed including the effect of shrinkage or expansion due to change in the density. The proposed similarity solution takes into account the change in density of the alloy while undergoing a phase change. Thermo-physical properties are assumed to be constant. An analytical solution (which is an outcome of the similarity solution)...
