Abstract
We summarize results of some of our calculations in diffusion-controlled reaction theory. We derive the transport equation describing a diffusing species which can react with a set of randomly distributed spherical sinks. Both the form of the transport equation and the dependence on sink volume fraction of the reaction rate and the effective diffusion coefficient are discussed.
