3.6.3 shellmit_p - Shell-MIT pressure drop for $P$

p = shellmit_p(q,d,v,sg)

Calculates the pressure drop across a pipeline using the Shell-MIT equation suited for heavy crude oil and heated liquid.

Arguments

q: Volumetric flow rate ( $m3/h$ ).
v: Liquid viscosity, centipoise.
d: Pipe internal diameter ( $m$ ).
sg: Liquid specific gravity.

Returns Pressure drop due to friction ( $kPa/km$ ).
