Which outcome arises when a positive displacement pump meters highly compressible fluid in a hydraulic system?

💡 Explanation

When metering compressible fluid, volume reduction causes high pressure buildup, followed by rapid expansion. The oscillating flow from the pump creates pressure fluctuations in the hydraulic system's output. Therefore, system pressure fluctuations result, rather than cavitation, erosion, or friction, all requiring distinct factors.
