I would like to reduce the space between an equation and its corresponding number, since the equation is long enough that the number runs over into its own line when the document is compiled in a two-column format. I have used the flalign
environment to reduce the amount of space on the left hand size, but there's still lots of space on the right-hand side. Any thoughts?
Here's a minimal working example:
\documentclass[twocolumn, a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\begin{flalign}
\dot{m}_a\!\frac{dx}{L_x}c_{p,a}T_a & =\! -U_o(T_a-T_r)dA_o & \\
\dot{m}_rdh_r &\! =\! -\dot{m}_ac_{p,a}\frac{dx}{L_x}\left[T_a(x,L_y)\! -\! T_a(x,0)\right], &
\end{flalign}
\end{document}
\documentclass
and\begin\end{document}
. That might clarify the two-column question, and would help us understand which space you're trying to reduce.
