146      Is this Antoine equation or something? FIXME check this and correct.      This is derived from the definition of the acentric factor,
147        omega = -log10(psat(T1) - 1 where T1/Tc = Tr = 0.7
148        
149        together with the saturation curve obtained if h_fg(T) is assumed constant:
150        ln(psat(T)) = A - B/(T + C)
151    
152        See Sandler 5e, p 320.  
153    
154    s   Such a curve will pass through (pc,Tc) and (psat(Tr),Tr) where Tr = 0.7,
155        but will probably be inaccurate at Tt. Given additional data, such as the
156        normal boiling point, a better equation like the Antoine equation can be
157        fitted. But we don't use that here.
