Equations used
 

FuncResCap = ExpReserveVol + ResidualVol

InspCap = InspReserveVol + TidalVol

TotalLungCap = InspReserveVol + TidalVol + ExpReserveVol + ResidualVol

VitalCap = InspReserveVol + TidalVol + ExpReserveVol

ClosingCap = ClosingVol + ResidualVol

CVVCRatio = 100 * ClosingVol / VitalCap

CCTLCRatio = 100 * ClosingCap / TotalLungCap

RVTLCRatio = 100 * ResidualVol / TotalLungCap
