In terms of the assumption that the surviving probability is independent of entrance channel, we have extracted the fusion hindrance factor from the evaporation residue cross sections for the reactions of ^82Se+^138 Ba and ^96Zr+^124Sn and compared with the results calculated using a two-parameter Smoluchowski equation.
