Two-face dissipation of a Paczyński-Wiita disk ($D=-\mathcal{G}{\Omega }^{\prime }/(2\pi R)$)

For a steady accretion disk with arbitrary rotation law and a zero-torque inner boundary condition at $R=3R_S$, the outward viscous torque in an accretion disk is $\mathcal{G}=\dot{M}(j-j_{\mathrm{in}})$. The dissipation per unit planar area summed over both disk faces is $D=-\mathcal{G}{\Omega }^{\prime }/(2\pi R)=\nu \Sigma (R{\Omega }^{\prime }{)}^2$. Integrating $2\pi RD$ gives $L=\dot{M}GM/(8R_S)=\dot{M}{c}^2/16$ in the Paczyński-Wiita potential. The radiative flux from one face is $D/2$, preventing a factor-of-two error in the luminosity.
