A method of solution is presented for the treatment of a class of boundary value problems of linear diffusion theory for finite homogeneous media which have applications in transient heat conduction (or mass diffusion) in a finite medium subjected to convective type boundary condition with time and space dependent coefficient, in the processes of neutron slowing in a finite medium with absorbing boundaries that exhibit energy-dependent cross sections, and in many related areas.
This document was prepared for Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) as information on all aspects of radioactive wastes. The author has sought to present facts about radioactive wastes in a simple. clear. and unbiased manner and thus make the information readily accessible to any interested and concerned members of the public. To accomplish this goal. assistance and advice from many people was needed. The writer wishes to express appreciation to John V. Robinson of PNL for his suggestions. assistance. and encouragement throughout the preparation of the material and to North Carolina State University graduate students Rashid Sultan and Ayad Rubaii for their fine efforts to select useful material in the literature. The author is grateful to those who made extensive suggestions for improvement-his wife.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
