How to find L for given T and d?

eqnarray469

eqnarray475

eqnarray481

  eqnarray486

Eqn. (76) relates tex2html_wrap_inline1467 with d/L

tex2html_wrap_inline1467 vs. d/L is given on Table C-1 (Vol. II of SPM)

Alternative Method

Based on Newton-Raphson's method:

Suppose we want to solve equation

tex2html_wrap_inline1475

This can be done in an iterative fashion:

tex2html_wrap_inline1477

tex2html_wrap_inline1479

tex2html_wrap_inline1481

tex2html_wrap_inline1483

tex2html_wrap_inline1485

tex2html_wrap_inline1487
