The variable power supply of the mini compressor would perhaps be better managed according to the engine revolutions than by the accelerator cable (?).
I do not really see why the mixture would not be roughly homogeneous. There will be enough flow in a relatively confined space to mix this mixture to a minimum. We can assume that there will be air saturated with water + micro water droplets + water vapor which will appear together at the level of the chamber before the rod. It will be great to know, if the proportions change and in what direction, during the different uses of the engine. If someone has a simple economic and feasible idea to quantify all this ... hush taker.
For coupling steam production with load or speed. For me the debate is not settled and I intend to try the 2 versions. Finally, at first, it will be at "fixed parameters" that I will vary the air flow in the bubbler to try to draw a trend ... not obvious without precise instrumentation
