def Sato_Riedel(T, M, Tb, Tc):
    r'''Calculate the thermal conductivity of a liquid as a function of
    temperature using the CSP method of Sato-Riedel [1]_, [2]_, published in
    Reid [3]_. Requires temperature, molecular weight, and boiling and critical
    temperatures.

    .. math::
        k = \frac{1.1053}{\sqrt{MW}}\frac{3+20(1-T_r)^{2/3}}
        {3+20(1-T_{br})^{2/3}}

    Parameters
    ----------
    T : float
        Temperature of the fluid [K]
    M : float
        Molecular weight of the fluid [g/mol]
    Tb : float
        Boiling temperature of the fluid [K]
    Tc : float
        Critical temperature of the fluid [K]

    Returns
    -------
    kl : float
        Estimated liquid thermal conductivity [W/m/k]

    Notes
    -----
    This equation has a complicated history. It is proposed by Reid [3]_.
    Limited accuracy should be expected. Uncheecked.

    Examples
