Simple poly-fit for MEA heat capacity

Simple polynomial fit to data for the specific heat capacity of monoethanolamine
as a function of temperature, CO2 loading, and concentration.




Where: 
Cp = heat capacity (kJ/kg-K)
T = temperature (°C)
,x = mass fraction of MEA, or, weight percent MEA
,α = CO2 loading (mol CO2/mol MEA)


Just a poly fit to data from:


“Heat Capacity of Aqueous Monoethanolamine, Diethanolamine, N-Methyldiethanolamine,
and N-Methyldiethanolamine-Based Blends with Carbon Dioxide”
For effect of loading on Cp


“Heat Capacity of Alkanolamine Aqueous Solutions (Li-Feng Chiu and Meng-Hui Li)”
For effect of high MEA concentration on Cp

For pure water data.
