The first-order differential approximation of radiation is combined with conduction analysis to investigate the temperature profiles in a plane slab and a rectangular region. The coupled nonlinear partial differential equations are solved numerically by either a standard implicit or an implicit alternating direction method. Results obtained for opaque boundaries are in good agreement with exact formulations found in the literature. An extension to partially transparent boundaries is made and results presented.

This paper gives the underlying reasons why numerous international petroleum geologists expect global crude oil production to peak soon. First, it reviews how oil has formed and some aspects of petroleum geology. It then moves to the history of U.S. oil production and presents the methods used by M. King Hubbert to predict the U.S. oil production peak 14 years before it happened. Now the world peak is imminent. Half of world oil production comes from 120 large fields, many over 30 years old, and most are already in secondary recovery. The rate at which new oil is found has ground to a halt, with the result that world oil production is set to begin its decline sometime between the years 2005 and 2010. The implications of this decline are severe.

The analysis is an extension of the work of Smith et al. to account for an arbitrary initial axial concentration profile. This situation is important in the experimental studies of growth of crystals in a microgravity environment in which the growth is from melts formed by re-melting crystals that have a known axial impurity profile. Three situations are discussed. There are the initial transient, a re-solidified crystal, and multipass solidification.
