# Calculations
# Use Antoine eqn. to get vapour pressure at 972 degree C
vP = math.exp(A-(B/(C+T))) ;			# vapour pressure at 972 degree C-[mm Hg]
P = vP * 101.325/760 ;			#[kPa]
# Use rate of vapourization(m) by given formula
m = 0.437 * (P * (mw**.5)/(T**0.5)) ;			# Vapourization rate at 972 degree C-[g/(square centimetre * s)]

# Results
print ' Vapourization rate at 972 degree C is %.1e g/(square centimetre)(s).'%m
 Vapourization rate at 972 degree C is 1.3e-04 g/(square centimetre)(s).
