Practical Solutions to Diffusion-Related Problems
Winner of the 2011 R.R. Hawkins Award, the top prize of the Association of American Publishers’ PROSE Awards, 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 book will become an invaluable component of every institutional and research center library…….it would be highly unlikely that such a book would ever be written or published again" - Frederick Dylla, American Institute of Physics.
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

Reviews
"The book will become an invaluable component of every institutional and research center library…….it would be highly unlikely that such a book would ever be written or published again" -Frederick Dylla, American Institute of Physics.
“Engineers or scientists who work with solutions to the diffusion equation and would like an extensive reference book for analytical solutions rather than relying on numerical techniques would find this book to be an incredible resource with nothing else comparable” – John J Shea, IEEE

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Biblios, frankfurt am main, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
