Practical use of Suzuki's thermal expansivity formulation

A simple modification of the Suzuki formula for calculating thermal expansi vity yields a useful description for expansivity that does not suffer from numerical difficulties when extrapolated to high temperatures, yet yields i dentical values to the Suzuki formula at low temperatures. The traditional Suzuki formula parameters may be used with this method with errors of 0.5% or lower in temperature ranges encountered in planetary inferiors. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
