Which outcome occurs when a hydraulic control valve experiences turbulent flow and localized low pressure?

A)Valve seat erosion
B)Increased fluid viscosity
C)Stable laminar flow
D)Decreased actuator stiffness

💡 Explanation

Valve seat erosion occurs because cavitation causes imploding vapor bubbles which mechanically damage surfaces; this is a result of the *Bernoulli effect* in restricted passages. Therefore valve seat erosion happens, rather than smoother flow because the flow is already turbulent, and viscosity or actuator stiffness are not directly related to cavitation.
