The Sumudu transform, whose fundamental properties are presented in this paper, is little known and not widely used. However, being the theoretical dual to the Laplace transform, the Sumudu transform rivals it in problem solving. Having scale and unit‐preserving properties, the Sumudu transform may be used to solve problems without resorting to a new frequency domain. Here, we use it to solve an integral production‐depreciation problem.

The Sumudu transform, whose fundamental properties are presented in this paper, is still not widely known, nor used. Having scale and unit‐preserving properties, the Sumudu transform may be used to solve problems without resorting to a new frequency domain. In 2003, Belgacem et al have shown it to be the theoretical dual to the Laplace transform, and hence ought to rival it in problem solving. Here, using the Laplace‐Sumudu duality (LSD), we avail the reader with a complex formulation for the inverse Sumudu transform. Furthermore, we generalize all existing Sumudu differentiation, integration, and convolution theorems in the existing literature. We also generalize all existing Sumudu shifting theorems, and introduce new results and recurrence results, in this regard. Moreover, we use the Sumudu shift theorems to introduce a paradigm shift into the thinking of transform usage, with respect to solving differential equations, that may be unique to this transform due to its unit‐preserving properties. Finally, we provide a large and more comprehensive list of Sumudu transforms of functions than is available in the literature.

In transport phenomena, precise knowledge or estimation of fluids properties is necessary, for mass flow and heat transfer computations. Viscosity is one of the important properties which are affected by pressure and temperature. In the present work, based on statistical techniques for nonlinear regression analysis and correlation tests, we propose a novel equation modeling the relationship between the two parameters of viscosity Arrhenius‐type equation, such as the energy ( E _a ) and the preexponential factor ( A _s ). Then, we introduce a third parameter, the Arrhenius temperature ( T _A ), to enrich the model and the discussion. Empirical validations using 75 data sets of viscosity of pure solvents studied at different temperature ranges are provided from previous works in the literature and give excellent statistical correlations, thus allowing us to rewrite the Arrhenius equation using a single parameter instead of two. In addition, the suggested model is very beneficial for engineering data since it would permit estimating the missing parameter value, if a well‐established estimate of the other parameter is readily available.

A drift term is added to the convective diffusion equation for platelet transport so that situations with near-wall excesses of platelets can be described. The mathematical relationship between the drift and the fully developed, steady-state platelet concentration profile is shown and a functional form of the drift that leads to concentration profiles similar to experimentally determined profiles is provided. The transport equation is numerically integrated to determine concentration profiles in the developing region of a tube flow. With the approximate drift function and typical values of augmented diffusion constant, the calculated concentration profiles have near-wall excesses that mimic experimental results, thus implying the extended equation is a valid description of rheological events. Stochastic differential equations that are equivalent to the convective diffusion transport equation are shown, and simulations with them are used to illustrate the impact of the drift term on platelet concentration profiles during deposition in a tube flow.

We introduce the rudiments of fractional calculus and the consequent applications of the Sumudu transform on fractional derivatives. Once this connection is firmly established in the general setting, we turn to the application of the Sumudu transform method (STM) to some interesting nonhomogeneous fractional ordinary differential equations (FODEs). Finally, we use the solutions to form two-dimensional (2D) graphs, by using the symbolic algebra package Mathematica Program 7.

The literature review of the Natural transform and the existing definitions and connections to the Laplace and Sumudu transforms are discussed in this communication. Along with the complex inverse Natural transform and Heaviside's expansion formula, the relation of Bessel's function to Natural transform (and hence Laplace and Sumudu transforms) are defined.
