The value of P is above 0.9, according to the F diagram with one-
shell pass condition where the maximum P value is 0.9, it should be
at least two shells in this case.
There are at least 4 tubes pass if there are 2 shells. Hence, the
current assumption is 2 shells with 4 tubes pass, so it need to be
interpolating from F diagram with two-shell passed condition. The
calculated F equals 0.787.
