That is, if I have the temperature and rate of CO2 production during the course of a fermentation, can I apply a correction to roughly predict what the flow would have been at (say) 3 degrees C higher or lower temperature? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Pete Soper (soper@encore.com) +1 919 481 3730 Encore Computer Corp, 901 Kildaire Farm Rd, bldg D, Cary, NC 27511 USA
