View source for Rootare–Prenzlow equation

The '''Rootare-Prenzlow Equation''' is named for [[Estonian-American]] scientist [[Hillar Rootare]] and American scientist [[Carl Prenzlow|Carl]], first published in their 1967 paper, "Surface Areas from Mercury Porosimetry Measurements," Rootare, H.M., and Prenzlow, C.F., 71 J. Phys. Chem. p.&nbsp;2733 (1967). The equation first formulated a means to calculate cumulative surface areas of porous solids based on data taken in mercury [[porosimetry]] testing. Rootare and Spencer later devised a computer program to carry out automated calculations, "A Computer Program for Pore Volume and Pore Area Distribution," Rootare & Spencer, Perspectives in Powder Metallurgy (Advanced Experimental Techniques in Powder Metallurgy) p.&nbsp;225, Plenum Press (New York, London 1970).
