Which outcome results from *cavitation* inside a centrifugal pump of a subcritical Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system?

💡 Explanation

Cavitation creates vapor bubbles that collapse, causing pitting of the impeller *because* of localized high pressures. Therefore, this reduces the pump’s efficiency and ultimately the ORC's net power output (*net positive suction head*), rather than improving performance elsewhere within the system.
