Abstract: We consider the equation ${u_t} + {u^n}{u_x} + H\left ( x, t, u \right ) = 0$ and derive a transformation relating it to ${u_t} + {u^n}{u_x} = 0$ . Special cases of the equation appearing in applications are discussed. Initial value problems and asymptotic behaviour of the solution are studied.
