Which outcome occurs when operating a steam engine with excessive condensation?

💡 Explanation

Decreased efficiency results because the phase change extracts heat without doing work; reducing pressure increases specific volume within the cylinders therefore minimizing usable energy rather than cavitation since that typically occurs in liquids at pressures lower than ambient.
