Format
A list of eight elements describing the equation.
- eq
The equation (formula object).
- eqAlt
The equation (string).
- name
The name of the equation.
- ref

Details
Equation:
rT = phi * (e^{bb * (T - Tb)} - \frac{Tm - T}{Tm - Tb} * e^{-bb * \frac{T - Tb}{deltab}} - \frac{T - Tb}{Tm - Tb} * e^{\frac{bb * (Tm - Tb) - (Tm - T)}{deltam}})
where rT is the development rate, T the temperature, Tb the minimum temperature, Tm the maximum temperature and phi, bb, deltab, and deltam constants (see source for more details).
