Sources (otherwise, estimated): 1 is Imtiaz et al. (2007), although in many cases the values have been reinterpreted in terms of units, etc., 2 is Lees-Green et al. (2014), 3 is Keener and Sneyd (2009), and 4 is a universal physical constant. Estimated values were based on existing sources. L, litre.
