New wall melt enters at the wall melting temperature . Besides supplying its latent heat, the flowing magma must warm this added melt. Relative to , conservative heat storage is , so differentiating it retains and gives the displayed dilution term. Omitting that term requires an additional approximation, such as a small sensible-to-latent heat ratio; it does not follow from equal densities alone.
