(A) | ||
Rearranging | ||
(B) | ||
Solving for r* | ||
(C) | ||
Recalling Eqn. (43) | ||
(43) | ||
Substituting Eqn. (C) for r* in Eqn. (43) | ||
(E) | ||
Rearranging | ||
(F) | ||
(G) | ||
Finally, collecting terms we have | ||
(H) | ||
Note: S1 is positive, S2is negative, and r2 > r1; therefore Ea*is positive as is γP | ||
