Abstract

The problem of convective diffusion toward the sphere in laminar flow around the sphere is solved by combination of the analytical and net methods for the region of Peclet number λ ≥ 1. The problem was also studied for very small values λ. Stability of the solution has been proved in relation to changes of the velocity profile.
