Question

A system is in liquid-vapor mixture of 0.5 kg of saturated water vapor and 0.5 kg

of saturated liquid. Calculate the quality.​

Answer 1

x = 0.5 = 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

The quality of a water liquid-vapor mixture can be defined as the fraction of water vapor present in the water liquid-vapor mixture. Therefore, it can be calculated by the use of the following formula:

`x = (m_(vap))/(m)`

where,

x = quality = ?

m_vap = mass of saturated water vapor = 0.5 kg

m = total mass = mass of saturated vapor + mass of saturated liquid

m = 0.5 kg + 0.5 kg = 1 kg

Therefore,

`x = (0.5\ kg)/(1\ kg)`

x = 0.5 = 50%
