← ScienceWhich cavitation risk increases when hydraulic fluid viscosity drops?
A)Increased turbulent flow energy✓
B)Reduced component lubrication ability
C)Elevated fluid bulk modulus
D)Decreased air entrainment potential
💡 Explanation
Lower viscosity fluids increase the probability of turbulent flow, resulting in pressure fluctuations above vapor pressure; therefore increased turbulent flow reduces the local pressure, forming vapor bubbles rather than preventing cavitation.
