Which outcome occurs after sudden closure of a long hydraulic pipeline's quick-closing valve?

💡 Explanation

After a sudden valve closure, the fluid's inertia creates a water hammer pressure surge because the kinetic energy converts to pressure waves propagating through the fluid. Therefore, a pressure surge develops, rather than minimized cavitation, efficiency improvement, or decreased viscosity, which do not follow from rapid deceleration.
