← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when dissolved gas exceeds solubility limit in hydraulic actuator fluid flowing across a sharp orifice?
A)Actuator stalls from cavitation-induced voids✓
B)System pressure increases due to fluid expansion
C)Fluid temperature decreases from gas release
D)Orifice erodes from accelerated flow
💡 Explanation
When dissolved gas exceeds the solubility limit due to pressure drop across an orifice, dissolved gasses form bubbles which causes cavitation because increased area is taken up by bubbles. Therefore the actuator stalls, rather than pressure increase, due to limited volumes, fluid temperature decreases due to temperature gradients, or eroding orifices alone.
