5.1 Introduction
In Chapter 5, we continue our discussion of one-dimensional, steady-state, diffusive transport by considering systems where generation of our transported quantity within the system or on the boundaries of the system is allowed. Generation pervades the natural world and virtually every transport process we encounter will contain some sort of generation. The presence of generation in a system precludes our analysis of transport in that system solely in terms of a random walk or correlated random walk (wave propagation). Generation provides a force that perturbs the system and alters its course from its original ...
