Worked Example
default_test
Given:
- h_2 = 2750
- h_f1 = 908.6
- h_g1 = 2777.1
Expected Result:
- dryness_fraction = 0.98549638747659
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: dryness_fraction = 0.98549638747659 dimensionless.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.
Formula / Method
dryness_fraction = (h_2-h_f1)/(h_g1-h_f1)dryness_fraction.
