x = (v - v_f)/(v_g - v_f) "Or directly:" x = quality(Fluid$, P=P, h=h_mix) | Mistake | Correction | |---------|-------------| | Forgetting units | Use [kPa] , [C] , [kJ/kg] in comments or EES unit system | | Using P*v = R*T for steam | Use v = volume(Steam, P=P, T=T) | | Isentropic but wrong fluid | s2 = s1 only if reversible & adiabatic | | Confusing W_b sign | EES doesn’t enforce sign convention; write Q - W = ΔU | | Not initializing variables | EES solves iteratively; provide guesses if needed: T2 = 300 | 6.
