it's a unit for temperatureWhat is 'R' in your expression ?
This can only be solved numerically or, more easily, graphically.This says this is solvable but I don't understand what to do.
Thanks. My next silly question: what does [imath]R^{-1}[/imath] in the left hand side mean ?A quick Mr. Science moment: R is the unit for a temperature measured in the Rankine scale, which is similar to the Kelvin scale, but measured in Fahrenheit degrees.

It doesn't say it can be solved algebraically, only that they solved it by some means, probably by technology. What is the context? Do they say anything more about what tools they used?This says this is solvable but I don't understand what to do.
It means "per degree Rankine", which is consistent with the RHS. (In the RHS, the constant must have units of degree Rankine to cancel the other terms.)Thanks. My next silly question: what does [imath]R^{-1}[/imath] in the left hand side mean ?
