← TechnologyIn an aircraft hydraulic system, which consequence results when rapid actuator movement induces localized boiling?
A)System pressure oscillates erratically✓
B)Fluid viscosity decreases linearly
C)Thermal runaway initiates gradually
D)Component seals exhibit swelling
💡 Explanation
Erratic pressure occurs because vapor bubbles from cavitation collapse violently during the implosion phase, causing pressure waves; therefore pressure deviates unpredictably rather than viscosity changing, due to the limited temperature range and implosion process.
