Abstract
An approximate method is proposed for integrating the nonstationary equations of a diffusion or thermal boundary layer using the known steady solution in the planar or axisymmetric case. It is shown that the proposed method is exact in problems involving mass or heat transfer of reacting drops and bubbles in a laminar flow of a viscous incompressible fluid and also particles moving in an ideal fluid. An integral equation is obtained for the local diffusion or heat flux in the case of abrupt “activation” of a reaction on the surface of a particle.
