a 0.63736 46.6467
b -1.1437 -314.292
c 7.4624 866.662
d -12.6905 -1298.3
e 11.9165 1162.27
f -6.18721 -637.795
g 1.63939 210.351
h -0.172667 -38.3094
i 0 2.96344
data range 4-300 4-300
equation range 1-300 4-300
curve fit % error relative to data 2 5
Curve fit equation of the form:
log10y = a+b(log10T) + c(log10T) 2 + d(log10T) 3 + e(log10T) 4 + f(log10T) 5 + g(log10T) 6 + h(log10T) 7 + i(log10T) 8

 


Solves as:
y = 10a+b(log10T) + c(log10T) 2 + d(log10T) 3 + e(log10T) 4 + f(log10T) 5 + g(log10T) 6 + h(log10T) 7 + i(log10T) 8

Where: Coefficients a–i are summarized in the appropriate table and T is the temperature in K (x-axis), and y is the property to solve for.
