How to Evaluate Vapour Quality?

Vapour Quality evaluator uses Vapour Quality = Vapour Mass/(Vapour Mass+Fluid mass) to evaluate the Vapour Quality, Vapour Quality formula is defined as the ratio of the mass of vapor to the total mass of the vapor and liquid mixture. It indicates the proportion of vapor present in a refrigerant system, essential for understanding thermodynamic processes. Vapour Quality is denoted by χ symbol.
