Vapor quality

In thermodynamics, vapour quality is the mass fraction in a saturated mixture that is vapour; i.e. saturated vapour has a "quality" of 100%, and saturated liquid has a "quality" of 0%. Vapour quality is an intensive property which can be used in conjunction with other independent intensive properties to specify the thermodynamic state of the working fluid of a thermodynamic system. It has no meaning for substances which are not saturated mixtures (i.e., compressed liquids or superheated fluids). Quality can be calculated by dividing the mass of the vapour by the mass of the total mixture: where
