“…From the basic properties of Brownian diffusion, the particles should be of sub micrometer sizes (nanoparticles), and the capillaries should be narrow (less than one millimeter), and these conditions complicate the practical realization of the above solved mathematical problems. Nevertheless, the practical realization of the point or, rather, the segment pulse emission at the inlet line, and the point (segment) detection of local concentrations at the outlet line are very difficult but feasible technical problems [12][13][14][15]. In particular, the mathematical solutions to the point and segment sources producing the particles in either the single pulse or pulse periodic operating mode would be of importance, e.g., in laser photochemistry.…”

Analytical solutions to the equations of Brownian diffusion were derived to depict the outlet dis tributions of local concentrations of particles penetrating through a slit like channel for both the spatially uniform and non uniform sources of particles at the channel inlet. The "point" and "segment" sources posi tioned at the inlet form the non uniform entering concentrations. The sources could emit particles in either the single pulse or pulse periodic (steady state) operating mode. The solutions were obtained for both the laminar gas stream with parabolic velocity profile (the Poiseuille flow) and the stream with plane profile (the slug flow). The physical and mathematical features of the Brownian diffusion were considered with respect to the pulse and the pulse periodic (steady state) point and segment emissions of particles in the Poiseuille flow. The Monte Carlo simulation of the Brownian motion of particles was performed to compare the analytical and the simulated distributions of particles for the point source.
