32 Where the pressure drop across the valve (P1-P2) is less than the limiting pressure drop,
33 the liquid phase sizing pressure drop, DPsl, should be set to DP (press drop across the valve).
34 When the pressure drop across the valve is greater than the limiting pressure drop, DPsl
35 should be set to DPl,lim.
