The author studies the propagation of relativistic electrons in stationary spherically-symmetric models of non-thermal sources. Electrons are injected by a collapsed object in the centre and then diffuse away in the presence of a flux of accreting matter. The electron density is calculated taking into account both the outward diffusion and the inward convection: it is assumed that the diffusion coefficient and the velocity field have a power dependence on the radial coordinate. The transport equation is solved for the particular case where the electron energy is constant; the case in which the particles suffer synchrotron or inverse-Compton losses is treated. The effects due to the convection are then discussed in comparison with the purely diffusive case.
