Knowledge Base

Smith (1995) defined knowledge base as a development of computational

models based on a set of Human Knowledge. The human knowledge acts
as a guidance to direct the flow of the expert system.
In this project, define your own knowledge base, preferably using the
following format.

No Parameter Item A Item B Item C

1 Temperature x y z
2 Pressure Gas a b c
3 Viscosity (µ) d e f
