An exact theoretical understanding of these phenomena represents a powerful tool for addressing specific engineering, environmental, and biotechnological questions. In this work, a new analytical relationship was derived that connects the description of the transfer of a general scalar quantity to a reactive surface with its transport in the laminar wake behind this surface. The main tools were the Laplace transform and the associated convolution identities, which enabled the solution of the governing partial differential equation. The result represents a comprehensive theory that can be used for more accurate design of devices requiring knowledge of heat or mass transfer, or as a reference model for the development and verification of numerical schemes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This study was carried out in collaboration between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icpf.cas.cz\/en\/department\/department-of-multiphase-reactors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Research Group of Multiphase Reactors<\/a> at ICPF, the Faculty of Science at Jan Evangelista Purkyn\u011b University in \u00dast\u00ed nad Labem, and Universit\u00e9 Gustave Eiffel in France.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icpf.cas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Havlica-01-2026.png\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20861\" src=\"https:\/\/www.icpf.cas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Havlica-01-2026.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icpf.cas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Havlica-01-2026.png 1003w, https:\/\/www.icpf.cas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Havlica-01-2026-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/www.icpf.cas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Havlica-01-2026-768x373.png 768w, https:\/\/www.icpf.cas.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Havlica-01-2026-370x180.png 370w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Harrandt V., Bazaikin Y., Huchet F., Tihon J., Havlica J.: Analytical solution for the laminar wake behind a finite heat\/mass sink. <em>J.
