DW> -> W = 13.13 + 0.62 * T - 13.95 * V ^ 0.16 + 0.486 * T + V ^ 0.16
           -----   ^^^^^^^^   ================   ^^^^^^^^^   ========

DW> To my mind, still carrying the programming habits of long ago, when
DW> BASICs were very slow, this looks horrible. It does the same
DW> exponentiation twice, and exponentiation takes forever. I would
DW> rewrite it as:

DW> W = 13.13 + 0.62 * T + (0.416 * T - 13.95) * V ^ 0.16

DW> It's shorter, too!
???   >:-\

DW> (I'm sure you made a typo, and the final "+" in your
formula should be
DW>  a "*". You got it right in the "English" version.)
hm... найн

W = 13.13 + (0.62 + 0.486) * T + (1 - 13.95) * V ^ 0.16
    -----    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^    =====================
