The Nasa article is totally wrong in saying that we can calculated quality
from enthalpy since no one has measured the enthalpy. It would be easiest to
measure quality by measuring velocity. There is no truth to the NASA
calculations approach of saying that 770 watts went in to so much water
therefore steam of a certain quality must have come out. Truth is there is
absolutely no connection between the enthalpy of the steam and the amount of
heat added.

(above 4300 Watts)
I've put up a new version at
http://lenr.qumbu.com/rossi_ecat_steam_v410C.php
Scroll down to 11 "Work in Progress" -- where I review some stuff on flow
diagrams.
Unfortunately the calculations needed to derive the drypoint (and other
stages) are beyond my capability and resources.
However, I think my observations are still qualitatively correct, and can
rule out very low steam quality (atomizer stuff excluded.)
But in "11.5 Pressure drop" I propose a more accurate likely path of the
eCat in the T-H diagram. I think I can do some relevant calculations there
based on the experimental numbers.
ps I'm out for the rest of the day -- and then I have to look at the Levi
interview.
