The viscosity data for water as a function of temperature are given in Table 1.3. Fit an equation of the type

\[\mu=A \exp (B / T)\]

to represent the data. This equation is called the Andrade equation or Andrade correlation, and is widely used for correlating the effect of temperature on viscosity of liquids. Equations fitted to data are useful for computer simulation.
