The equation <strong>of</strong> continuity is<br />

aH aJ<br />

==-ax<br />

(5 *4)<br />

The energy in radiation has been neglected, which is justified in<br />

all practical cases . Using (5.1), (5.4) can be integrated over x to<br />

give<br />

u H + J = C (5 *5)<br />

where C is a constant. This is <strong>the</strong> fundamental result <strong>of</strong> 2,<br />

If <strong>the</strong> opacity increases monotonically with H, <strong>the</strong>n in <strong>the</strong> interior<br />

J w ill be very nearly zero, and <strong>the</strong>refore<br />

c = uH* (5.6)<br />

where Ho is <strong>the</strong> enthalpy. in <strong>the</strong> undisturbed interior, hot region.<br />

Equation (5.5) becomes<br />

J = u(H0 - H) (5.7)<br />

which can be integrated to give x(T), since H(T) md K(T,p) are known<br />

functions. We have put in evidence <strong>the</strong> fact that K depends on pressure<br />

in addition to T. Over most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> range <strong>of</strong> T, K(T) is <strong>the</strong> most rapidly
