The mathematical problem of the steady-state biofiltration of an organic substrate is formulated at two levels  taking into account the limitation and inhibition of the rate of its decomposition. The exact and approximate solutions to the problem of substrate biooxidation in a representative biofilm were obtained and compared using test examples. Based on them an analysis of the technological process in the porous biofilter medium and the output characteristics was carried out.

Abstract The fractional Fokker-Planck equation (FFPE) has been used in many physical transport problems which take place under the influence of an external force field and other important applications in various areas of engineering and physics. In this paper, by means of the homotopy perturbation method (HPM), exact and approximate solutions are obtained for two classes of the FFPE initial value problems. The method gives an analytic solution in the form of a convergent series with easily computed components. The obtained results show that the HPM is easy to implement, accurate and reliable for solving FFPEs. The method introduces a promising tool for solving other types of differential equation with fractional order derivatives

Transient Contact

We study the time dependent problem of a nonconducting half-plane sliding on the surface of a conductor with heat generation at the interface due to friction. The conducting half-plane is slightly rounded to give a Hertzian initial pressure distribution. Relationships are established for temperature and thermoelastic displacements due to a heat input of cosine type through the surface, and then these are used to obtain the solution in the form of a double Fourier integral. Numerical results show that, if the ratio of the initial size of the area of contact to that in the steady state is less than some critical value, the area of contact and the pressure distribution change smoothly toward the steady state solution. Otherwise the area of contact goes through bifurcation. The bifurcation accelerates the process. Numerical results are compared with previous approximate solutions.

Side Walls

The deformation, using linear poroelasticity, of a two-dimensional box of porous material due to fluid flow from a line source is considered as a model of certain filtration processes. Analytical solutions for the steady-state displacement, pressure, and fluid velocity are derived when the side walls of the filter have zero solid stress. A numerical solution for the case where the porous material adheres to the side walls is also found. It will be shown, however, that simpler approximate solutions can be derived which predict the majority of the deformation behavior of the filter.

Convection Flow

Unsteady as well as steady natural convection flow in a vertical channel in the presence of uniform magnetic field applied normal to the flow region and temperature dependent variable thermal conductivity is studied. The nonlinear partial differential equations governing the flow have been solved numerically using unconditionally stable and convergent semi-implicit finite difference scheme. For steady case, approximate solutions have been derived for velocity, temperature, skin friction, and the rate of heat transfer using perturbation series method. Results of the computations for velocity, temperature, skin friction, and the rate of heat transfer are presented graphically and discussed quantitatively for various parameters embedded in the problem. An excellent agreement was found during the numerical computations between the steady-state approximate solutions and unsteady numerical solutions at steady-state time. In addition, comparison with previously published work is performed and the results agree well.

Steady State Solutions

This paper investigates steady-state solutions to MHD thermally radiating and reacting thermosolutal viscous flow through a channel with porous medium. The reaction is assumed to be strongly exothermic under generalized Arrhenius kinetics, neglecting the consumption of the material. Approximate solutions are constructed for the governing nonlinear boundary value problem using WKBJ approximations. The results, which are discussed with the aid of the dimensionless parameters entering the problem, are seen to depend sensitively on the parameters.
