Substitution of eqn 34.45 into eqn 34.44 yields

\epsilon =-\frac{\mathcal{L} _{\varepsilon T} }{\mathcal{L} _{\varepsilon \varepsilon } }.           (34.45)

\pmb{\varepsilon} =\epsilon ∇T           (34.44)

\pmb{\varepsilon} = -\frac{\mathcal{L} _{\varepsilon T} }{\mathcal{L} _{\varepsilon \varepsilon} } ∇T.           (34.49)

Putting this into eqn 34.39 implies that

\pmb {J}_{Q} = \mathcal{L} _{T\varepsilon} \pmb{\varepsilon} + \mathcal{L} _{TT} ∇T.           (34.39)

\pmb{J}_{Q} =\left(\frac{\mathcal{L} _{\varepsilon \varepsilon } \mathcal{L} _{TT} −\mathcal{L} _{T\varepsilon } \mathcal{L} _{\varepsilon T} }{\mathcal{L} _{\varepsilon \varepsilon } } \right)∇T,           (34.50)

and hence comparison with eqn 34.43 yields

\pmb{J}_{Q} = −κ∇T,           (34.43)

κ = -\left[\frac{\mathcal{L} _{\varepsilon \varepsilon } \mathcal{L} _{TT} −\mathcal{L} _{T\varepsilon } \mathcal{L} _{\varepsilon T} }{\mathcal{L} _{\varepsilon \varepsilon } } \right].          (34.51)
