θg = 1325(1-0.324e-0.2t*-0.204e-1.7t*-0.472e-19t*)
where t* = t.Γ
and Γ = (O/b)²/(0.04/1160)²
O is the opening factor
and b relates to the thermal inertia √(ρcλ)
Where ρ = density (kg/m³)
c = specific heat (J/kgK)
Λ = thermal conductivity (W/mK)

Scope of Equation
Cooling phase
Θg = θmax – 625(t*-t*max.x) for t*max ≤ 0.5
Θg = θmax – 250(3-t*max)(t*-t*max.x) for t*max < 2
Θg = θmax – 250(t*-t*max.x) for t*max ≥ 2
