The equation has the following form:

where
TC is the critical temperature
Tb is the boiling point temperature
You must use 2 coefficients with this correlation.
You can use any temperature unit of measure (UOM) when you input data for this correlation. However, AVEVA Thermodynamic Data Manager converts temperatures to Kelvin (K) before it calculates the property value.
Usage
We recommend that you use this correlation to calculate only the following property:
