Note: the viscosity and density are computed in the Function subroutine using the following formulas:
Viscosity, lb/ft-h = -0.23535 + 208.65 / Tin - 2074.8 / Tin ^ 2
Density, lb/ft3 = 62.7538 - 0.00353 * Tin - 0.0000482 * Tin ^ 2
Calculation
Downstream Pressure

To calculate pressure drop directly, if Upstream Pressure is unknown, use an arbitary value for pressure (in this example, 100)
