β¦ Synopsis
XBSTRXCT: An approximate method for solving the partial differential equation of conduction is developed that is continuous in time and discrete in space. The general solution is presented for a slab having ~ve nodes and time dependent boundaries and having an arbitrary initial temperature distribution. The corresponding case, for a four node and a three node slab, is given in Appendix I.
A typical example for a slab is solved using this quasi-analytic method, as well as by the traditional ~nite difference method. Both approximate solutions of the example problems are compared graphically with the exact solution.

In this study, we present a new solution of the three-dimensional (3-D) radiation transfer equation (RTE). The solution employs a discretization technique to separate the independent variables involved in the 3-D RTE, and the doublingadding method to solve the RTE explicitly and quasi-analytically.
