Hi guys,

id like to find out how to find out a numerical solution to the
following equation with mathematica:

qpar/2\[LongEqual]1.96763*10^-8 T^4+(2.65932*10^10 E^(-99104.3 (1/
T-1/5823)))/Sqrt[T]

It seems i am not able to fine a function or values T(qpar)

Hello,
to obtain reasonable results, you should in any case scale your
variables and equations.
Since you have huge entries in your equation, it is likely that
any numerical method will fail otherwise.
(I don't know how skilled you are in doing such kind of preparation, but
in your case it seems indispensible!)
In any case, if you try to solve any equation of kind
f(T) = q
you can plot f(T) first, to learn about possible solutions and guess
good starting points.

You may wish to write your question in ASCII format in
a readable line and ask a concrete question, for me it
is not understandable that way.

I don't know about Mathematica, but Maple has little trouble with solving it
numerically. Of course, you can't expect a symbolic solution.

T-1/5823)))/sqrt(T);

For example, with qpar=1:

> fsolve(eval(eq, qpar=1));

I extended the precision in your formula to 20 places to get a bit
more precision in the answer. If you know more precision to the
constants in your formula, use it. If not, remove the "`20"s I
added to your constants.

qpar[T_] :=
2 (1.96763`20*10^-8 T^4 + (2.65932`20*10^10 E^(-99104.3`20 (1/T -
1/5823)))/Sqrt[T])


iqpar[x_] := FindRoot[qpar[T] == x, {T, 1}, WorkingPrecision -> 20]
