Thread: sistem of 8000 equations with 3 unknowns. How can I solve this in a correct way?

Hi ,

I have an basic equations that looks like this:
ninf = no + k1*v + k2*sqrt(ΔT)
ninf - infiltration
v - speed
ΔT - temperature difference

the unknowns are

no - initial infiltration
k1 and k2 - coefficients.

I have the values for ninf , v and ΔT. How can I approximate a correct value for the 3 unknowns?
It is obvious that I will not be able to find a set of values that will fulfill all my equations but I need something that will give me the closest thing to that.


Hope you can help me. I attached a file in case you need it.
