Key Equations

$$c_p(S,T) \approx 4217.4 - 3.720S + 0.1412S^2 - 2.654 \times 10^{-4}S^3 - 7.288T + 0.1956T^2$$
$$L_v(T) \approx (2.501 - 0.00237 \, T) \times 10^6 \quad \text{J/kg}$$
$$\delta = \alpha(S, T, p) - \alpha(35, 0, p)$$
$$\delta = \delta_T + \delta_S + \delta_{TS} + \delta_{Tp} + \delta_{Sp} + \delta_{TSp}$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
