Google's Matt Cutts stated that links with the nofollow attribute apparently do not enable more PageRank (or link juice) to flow to the followed links on the page. Instead, the PageRank that would have otherwise been passed just evaporates.

Pagerank evaporation occurs due to nofollow links on a page.
The nofollow links are not passing PR, so some of the PR will evaporate, but a part of it will still be distributed amongst the other outlinks.

Actually it means to drop site ranking. Usually it is done if more no follow links are used than dofollow as nofollow doesn't provide any link juice and follow the links on the page. Which results in decrementing PR.

PR Sculpting is also known as PageRank Evaporation. At what time the links by means of nofollow attribute, will not be receiving any longer link juices to stream and follow the links on the page. as a replacement for, the PR will be exhausted and evaporate into nothing which should have been passed.

PageRank Evaporation is common when doing PR Sculpting. Matt Cutts stated that when the links with nofollow attribute, will not be getting anymore link juices to flow and follow the links on the page. Instead, the PR will be wasted and evaporates into nothing which should have been passed.
