• These properties are all dependent: specify one to determine all (because they are in a saturation state)

• Liquid and vapor phases coexist, the total mass of the mixture, m, is the sum of the liquid mass and the vapor mass: m=mf+mg, The ratio of the mass of vapor to the total mass is called the quality of the mixture: x=mg/m

f-liquid phase g-vapor phase
