Argument d is the cylinder diameter, not the valve diameter.

because floating point numbers can not be represented exactly in binary form 2 is for example not equal to 2.0000. This is not considered for the test suite.

Don't use "pi" value from Matlab. It's better the 3.1416 value

In the test suite, are the test variables supposed to be without semi-colons?
