𝑃 and 𝑇 Look up data by pressure:
a. If 𝑇 < 𝑇 : Compressed liquid
b. If 𝑇 = 𝑇 : Two phase, liquid-
vapor mixture
c. If 𝑇 > 𝑇 , Superheated vapor

OR

Look up data by temperature:

a. If 𝑝 > 𝑝 : Compressed liquid
b. If 𝑝 = 𝑝 : Two phase, liquid-
vapor mixture
c. If 𝑝 < 𝑝 , Superheated vapor

a. 𝜈 < 𝜈 : Compressed liquid
b. 𝜈 = 𝜈 : Saturated liquid
c. 𝜈 < 𝜈 < 𝜈 : Two-phase
