Usage

lamb_92

Format

A list of eight elements describing the equation.

eq

The equation (formula object).

eqAlt

The equation (string).

name

The name of the equation.

ref

The equation reference.

refShort

The equation reference shortened.

startVal

The parameters found in the literature with their references.

Details

Equation:

rT = Rm * e^{-\frac{1}{2} * (\frac{T - Tmax}{To})^{2}}

and

rT = Rm * e^{-\frac{1}{2} * (\frac{T - Tmax}{T1})^{2}}

where rT is the development rate, T the temperature, Rm the maximum development rate, Tmax the optimum temperature, and To and T1 the shape parameter giving the spread of the curve.
