And also, with the Lambert W Function you need to make an assumption on either value $T_{p,o}$ or $T_{p,i}$ | |

| Sep 9, 2020 at 17:10 | comment | added | NMech | you can set any $T_{p,o}$ and find out what the $T_{p,i}$ should be. The system has a degree of freedom. It like trying to define x when x+ y =1. | |
| Sep 9, 2020 at 11:40 | comment | added | J. Ari | $T_{p,o}$ is not specified, so I'm not sure how you can make the iterative method work with two unknowns. | |
