Notice that I changed the given H^ values in parts (a) and (d) just as I did for P2 in HW #2. So, you should get the same answers using NIST.

Note: Please use the IIR Reference State in NIST for this problem if you want your answers to match thos given on HW #2.

I just updated the answers for this problem on HW #3.

DR. B,
Can you explain how to derive the quality for a)?

At 80 psia, you look up Hsatliq and Hsatvap. The value of H given in the problem lies between these two, so we know we have a sat mix. There are just TWO eqns you need to know to use quality. The one you need here is:
x = (Hsatmix-Hsatliq)/(Hsatvap-Hsatliq)
PLug in the numbers and, presto, you've got the quality !
