PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS TO DIFFUSION‎-RELATED PROBLEMS The Diffusion Handbook‎:‎ Applied Solutions for Engineers is the 2011 recipient of the R‎.‎R‎.‎ Hawkins Award‎,‎ the top prize of the Association of American Publishers‎'‎ PROSE Awards and one of the highest recognitions in the world of professional and scholarly publishing‎.‎ The book is also the winner of the 2011 PROSE Award for Excellence in Physical Sciences & Mathematics and the Engineering & Technology category award‎.‎ The Diffusion Handbook provides more than 1‎,‎000 ready‎-made solutions to boundary‎-value problems associated with Dirichlet‎,‎ Neumann‎,‎ and Robin boundary conditions‎.‎ The book also offers variations‎,‎ including‎:‎ Subdivided systems where the properties of each continuum are uniform but discontinuous at the interface Solutions involving boundary conditions of the mixed type‎,‎ where the function is prescribed over part of the boundary and its normal derivative over the remaining part Problems that involve space‎- and time‎-dependent boundary conditions All semi‎-analytic solutions presented in this practical resource are accompanied by prescriptions for numerical computation‎.‎The diffusion coefficient and the initial and boundary conditions used in this book apply to fluid flow in a porous medium‎.‎ All solutions can be equally applied to problems in heat conduction and mass transfer‎.‎ Coverage includes‎:‎ Integral transforms and their inversion formulae Infinite and semi‎-infinite continua Bounded continuum Infinite and semi‎-infinite lamella Rectangle Quadrant layer and octant layer Cuboid Infinite and semi‎-infinite cylindrical continua Bounded cylindrical continuum Wedge‎-shaped infinite and semi‎-infinite continua Wedge‎-shaped bounded continuum Wedge
