β¦ Synopsis
Traditional averaging methods for multilayer diffusion give inaccurate approximations of critical time behaviour, such as the heating time of a material. In particular, they fail to capture the importance of layer order. We use a perturbation expansion of an exact solution to find a simple approximate solution which accurately describes the critical time for transport across multiple layers. This approximate solution is then used to find a correction for the averaging method which captures the key critical time behaviour.

## Abstract This work considers the methods for solving approximately the four types of boundary equations arising when the third initial boundary value problem of the theory of elasticity is solved with the help of retarded elastic potentials. The convergence of these methods is proved.
Reanalysis of the drying background in wheat showed that analytical solutions may be employed in this grain to estimate di!usion coe$cients by using the simpli"ed equation for short times instead of the time-consuming series. Sixteen thin-layer drying curves of hard wheat were measured (air#ow+0)3 k
