← TechnologyWhich consequence results when exceeding fluid velocity limits in hydraulic control?
A)Control valve cavitation increases rapidly✓
B)Actuator thermal expansion drops linearly
C)System bulk modulus approaches infinity
D)Accumulator pre-charge pressure stabilizes
💡 Explanation
Cavitation increases because the fluid's absolute pressure in the control valve drops below its vapor pressure, leading to bubble formation and collapse. Therefore, component erosion accelerates, rather than a linear thermal reduction under stable fluid density alone.
