This paper is concerned with methods of evaluating numerical solutions of the non-linear partial differential equationwheresubject to the boundary conditionsA, k, q are known constants.Equation (1) is of the type which arises in problems of heat flow when there is an internal generation of heat within the medium; if the heat is due to a chemical reaction proceeding at each point at a rate depending upon the local temperature, the rate of heat generation is often defined by an equation such as (2).

Riemann's method of solution of a linear second order partial differential equation of hyperbolic type was introduced in his memoir on sound waves. It has been used by Darboux in discussing the equationwhere α, β, γ are functions of x and y.

This paper presents solutions of the nonlinear partial differential equation using the Douglas-Jones predictor-corrector method for the numerical solution of nonlinear partial differential equations. The results are presented in tabular form and as semilogarithmic and log-log type-curve graphs. Graphs of dimensionless pressure versus dimensionless radius also are presented. Compared to results from analytical solutions of the linear partial differential equation, the graphs have the same shape. The error introduced by the linearizing approximation is small for many values of the flow behavior index, n, and decreases as n tends to unity. Dimensionless pressure is a linear function of dimensionless radius to the power (1–n), near the well, as predicted by the steady-state equations. Also radius of investigation equation derived analytically agrees with results from numerical solutions.

Let p (x) be an essentially positive function defined in the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ π. We consider the non-linear partial differential equationfor the boundary conditions u (x, t) = 0,for x = 0 and x = π,

Hadamard defines the “elementary solution” of the general linear partial differential equation of the second order, namely(Aik, BiC being functions of the n variables x1, x2, .., xn, which may be regarded as coordinates in a space of n dimensions), to be one of those solutions which are infinite to as low an order as possible at a given point and on every bicharacteristic through that point.

The Ritz variational method has been applied to the nonlinear partial differential equation to construct a model for travelling wave solution. The spatially periodic trial function was chosen in the form of combination of Jacobian Elliptic functions, with the dependence of its parameters
