DHVL_Vetere(Tb: float, Tc: float, Pc: float) -> float

Calculate the enthalpy of vaporization of a pure compound at the normal boiling point, \(\Delta H_{vb}\), using the Vetere method.

\[ \Delta H_{vb} = R T_c T_{br} \frac{0.4343\ln(P_c/10^5)-0.69431 + 0.89584 T_{br}}{0.37691-0.37306 T_{br} + 0.15075 (P_c/10^5)^{-1} T_{br}^{-2}} \]

where \(P_c\) is the critical pressure, \(T_c\) is the critical temperature, \(T_b\) is the normal boiling temperature, and \(T_{br}=T_b/T_c\) is the reduced normal boiling temperature.
