Abstract

Based on a Lagrangian interpolation, a heuristic scheme is developed for the inversion of certain types of Laplace transforms and is applied to the solution of problems of interest to chemical engineers for which the exact solution is either very difficult or impossible to obtain. The solutions thus obtained are in good agreement with exact values, when available, for initial values of the transformed independent variable and may therefore be used as approximations. Three illustrative examples are presented.
