Which performance limitation arises when an intercooler cannot completely condense the working fluid in an organic Rankine cycle?

💡 Explanation

When condensation is incomplete, liquid and vapor enter the pump, causing cavitation; it undergoes vaporization and implosion. Cavitation occurs because the vapor pressure increases faster than the liquid, therefore decreasing the cycle effectiveness, rather than resulting in blade erosion.
