Which outcome occurs when a hydraulic pump operates with excessive entrained air in its fluid?

💡 Explanation

When excessive entrained air is present, compressibility increases, causing cavitation as air bubbles implode during pressure changes, reducing the pump's volumetric efficiency. Therefore reduced efficiency and cavitation occur, rather than increased viscosity, decreased pressure, or enhanced lubrication, which require different fluid properties and operating conditions.
