Abstract: | The integral balance method has been used to obtain an approximate analytical solution of a nonlinear boundary value problem which arises in the theory of diffusion with a concentration-dependent coefficient. It is the purpose of this paper to give an interpretation of the supposition of interface reactions which obey the law of kinetic mass action.Nomenclature
