Question: The data shown is for the saturation temperature as a function of pressure for R-134a. Develop 5 different curve fits: (a) Exponential [p = Aexp(aT)]

The data shown is for the saturation temperature as a function of pressure for R-134a. Develop 5 different curve fits:

(a) Exponential [p = A·exp(aT)]

(b) 2nd order polynomial

(c) Power Law [p = B·Tb]

(d) Logarithmic [p = A + B·ln(T)]

(e) Clausius-Clapeyron: [ln(P) = A – B/T]
