“…(9) Parameters q 1 to q 20 were determined by a weighted least-squares fit of equations (6), (7), (9), (10), and (11) to the experimental results (446 points) from tables 1 and 2. The equations were optimized by repeated least-squares regression in order to eliminate redundant parameters that were not significant at the 95 per cent confidence (6) ; (16) q, Goldsack and Franchetto; (17) r, Allred and Woolley; (18) W, Dunn; (14) R, Wirth; (12) T, Redlich and Bigeleisen; (13) 8, Äkerlo¨f and Teare; (11) y, Herrington et al; (20) u, Hershey et al (19) (b), 373 K E T E 573 K: w, present results at p = 10 MPa; r, present results at p = 28 MPa.…”
