Which consequence results when a high-viscosity hydraulic fluid is used in a gear pump system operating below its design temperature?

💡 Explanation

Decreased temperatures increase viscosity, consequently fluid velocities reduce because of increased fluid friction; Sticking prevents proper lubrication, therefore the pump’s volumetric efficiency drops off due to more bypass rather than maintaining displacement volumes.
