Answer:
x = 0.5 = 50%
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:
[tex]x = \frac{m_{vap}}{m}[/tex]
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,
[tex]x = \frac{0.5\ kg}{1\ kg}[/tex]
x = 0.5 = 50%
