7. Lockhart-Martinelli Factor and the Total Pressure Gradient

The two-phase multiplier will be calculated using the Lockhart-Martinelli paremeter and
the correlations provided by Chisholm (1967).

Hence the total pressure gradient is calculated using both the gas and liquid
two-phase multipliers. They should both be the same.
