The problem of dynamics of sorption with diffusion within the sorbent (Q1848648)

The article considers the boundary value problem representing mixed-diffusional model of sorption process: \(vc_x + \varepsilon c_t + a_t = D c_{xx}\), \((x,t)\in Q_T\); \(c(0,t)= \mu(t)\), \(t\in [0,T]\); \(c(l,t) + \lambda c_x (l,t) = 0\), \(t \in [0, T]\); \(c(x,0)= 0\), \(x \in [0,l]\); \(a(x,t) =\frac{3(1-\varepsilon)}{R^3} \int_0^R r^2 a(s)(r,x,t) dr\), \((x,t) \in Q_T\), \(a_t(s) = r^{-2}(\widehat D r^2 a_r(s))_r\), \((r,x,t) \in \Theta(t)\), \(a_r(s)(0,x,t)= 0\), \((x,t)\in Q_T\), \(a_r(s)(R,x,t)=\beta c(x,t)-f^{-1}(a(s)(R,x,t))\), \((x,t) \in Q_T\), \(a(s)(r,x,0)=0\), \(x \in [0,l]\), \(r\in [0,R]\), where \(c(x,t)\), \(a(x,t)\), \(a(s)(r,x,t)\), \(\mu(t)\) are concentrations of admixture, \(D, \widehat D\) are coefficients of diffusion, \(\lambda, \beta\) are coefficients of exchange, \(r, x\) are coordinates, \(f(\xi)\) is an isoterm of sorption \(f(\xi)\in C^2\), \(f'>0\), \(f(0)=0\), \(f^{-1}\) is an inverse function to the function \(f(\xi)\) such that \(f^{-1}\)\(f(\xi)\)\( = \xi\). Additionally, \(\mu(t)\in C^1(0,T)\), \(\mu(0)=\mu'(0)= 0\), \(Q(t)= \{(x,t)\mid x\in (0,l)\), \(t \in (0, T)\}\), \(\Theta_T = \{(r,x,t)\mid r\in(0,R)\), \((x,t)\in Q_T\},\) where \(R, l\) are some geometrical characteristics. As a base of solution of the above system, the author uses the method of separation of variables in some equations. This gives the existence of unique classical solution \(c(x,t) \in C^{2,1}(\overline Q_T)\), \(a(x,t)\in C^{2,1}(\overline Q_T)\), \(a(s)(r,x,t)\in C^{2,1}(\overline \Theta_T),\) where \(\overline Q_T\), \(\overline \Theta_T\) are closures of sets \(Q_T\) and \(\Theta_T\), respectively.
