ANSWER:

Solution 17P

Step 1 of 9

Here our aim is to determine the quality of different two-phase mixtures from the given parameters.

In part (a), Specific Volume of Liquid Vapour mixture is given. In part (b), Specific Internal Energy  is given. In part (c), the given parameter is Specific Enthalpy and in part (d), Specific Volume is given. We have to find the quality in each case, by referring to the respective standard tables.

Part (a)
