I went digging... its an important bit of data. Yep, its the liquid portion by *volume*, thanks Josh and Stephen for catching that... I'll copy Horace's table below... For anyone who would like to review Horace's analysis and calculations, the posting was on 1/21/2011 and has a subject line of: [Vo]:"Wet" vs Dry Steam in Rossi Experiment Portion Portion Portion by Volume by Mass by Mass --------- ------- ----------- 0.000 0.0000 100.00 0.001 0.6252 0.3747 0.002 0.7695 0.2304 0.003 0.8337 0.1662 0.004 0.8700 0.1299 0.005 0.8933 0.1066 0.006 0.9095 0.0904 0.007 0.9215 0.0784 0.008 0.9307 0.0692 0.009 0.9380 0.0619 0.010 0.9439 0.0560 0.011 0.9488 0.0511 0.012 0.9529 0.0470 0.013 0.9564 0.0435 0.014 0.9594 0.0405
Horace explains, "We can thus see from this table that if 1 percent by volume of the steam is entrained water micro-droplets, easily not seen in tubing or exhaust ports, that only 5.6 percent of the heat of vaporization is required to produce that mixture." -Mark ________________________________ From: Stephen A.

That would probably have been Horace, and I think he may have meant "by volume". The calculations are in the archive, among the most recent posts from Horace just before he bowed out due to lack of time, if anyone cares to go digging.
