← ScienceWhich consequence results when hydraulic fluid velocity exceeds limits?
A)Increased energy dissipation via turbulent flow✓
B)Decreased actuator response from laminar flow
C)Reduced system wear through boundary lubrication
D)Improved sealing due to increased viscosity
💡 Explanation
Turbulence causes energy dissipation in hydraulic systems. High velocity causes increased inertial forces and disordered motion leading to turbulent flow because the *Reynolds number* increase exceeds limits; therefore energy converts to heat rather than effective power, rather than controlled laminar behavior.
