Volumetric Steam Quality Enthalpy Graphs

Appendix 29 to New Energy Times Report #3

Prepared by New Energy Times

NOTE: These graphs were created in February 2011 to understand the energy calculation for the Rossi device. However, they may no longer apply.

Enthalpy Factors for Graph 1:
1E00 (100% Liquid) = 450 kJ/kg
1E-01 (10% Liquid) = 450 kJ/kg
1E-02 (1% Liquid) = 550 kJ/kg
1E-6 (~0% Liquid) = 2700 kJ/kg
Enthalpy of 10% Liquid to ~0% Liquid = 450/2700 (6x)
Enthalpy of 5% Liquid to ~0% Liquid = 500/2700 (5.4x)
Enthalpy of 1% Liquid to ~0% Liquid = 550/2700 (5x)

Enthalpy Factors for Graph 2:
5% Liquid = Factor of  6
2% Liquid = Factor of  5.5
1% Liquid = Factor of 4.7
0.5% Liquid = Factor of 4
