Data matrix is extracted from steam table. The columns (from left to right) of the matrix are respectively
1. Pressure in kPa,
2. Temperature in oC,
3. Specific volume dry saturated vg in m3/kg,
4. Specific enthalpy of liquid saturated hf in kJ/kg
5. Specific enthalpy of vaporisation hfg in kJ/kg, and
6. Specific enthalpy of dry saturated steam in kJ/kg, and
7. The specific volume liquid saturated vf m3/kg

Write a function that will return the quality of stean for a provided value of the enthalpy
The quality of steam is subcool (h < hf), liquid saturated (h = hf) , wet ( hf < h < hg), dry saturated (h = hg),
superheated ( h > hg).
Write a program that will return the quality of steam for a given value of the enthalpy. Test your program with
vector h at 19 kPa for respective values of h = 2000; 2608; 3000; 200 and 247. Your display wi ll be presented in a
function Quality(x)
