Sato-Riedel equation

Thermal conductivities can be estimated with the Sato-Riedel equation... 

Several methods for the estimation of liquid thermal conductivities are presented by Reid etal. (1987), namely, the method of Latini and co-workers (Latini Pacetti 1978 Bar-roncini etal. 1980,1981,1983a,b, 1984), the Sato-Riedel method and the Missenard-Riedel method (Riedel 1949,1951a,b,c Missenard 1973). The Latini method employs different parameters for compounds from different families, such as acids, esters, etc., while the other two methods are simply equations that give the thermal conductivity as a function of the molar mass and the reduced temperature. For example, the Sato-Riedel equation reads...
