← ScienceWhich consequence results when lubricating oil viscosity declines sharply in a hydraulic system relying on tight tolerances?
A)Increased internal pump cavitation risk.
B)Elevated system operating temperature.✓
C)Decreased actuator response time.
D)Reduced flow turbulance and noise.
💡 Explanation
Elevated operating temperature results because reduced viscosity causes increased fluid leakage past seals and clearances; this leads to greater frictional losses and heat generation rather than decreased temperature, therefore energy dissipation occurs faster.
