This produces for the calculation of the PFH value for block 1:
PFHtot= PFH(S1) + PFH(EL1904) + PFH(EL6900) + PFH(EL2904) +
β
* (PFH(K1)+
PFH(K2))/2 + PFH(S2) + PFH(EL1904)
Since the portion
(PFH(K1)* PFH(K2))*T1
is smaller than the rest by the power of ten, it is neglected
in this and all further calculations for the purpose of simplification.
