← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when hydraulic fluid's viscosity increases significantly?
A)Reduced pump cavitation
B)Increased system pressure
C)Decreased actuator speed✓
D)Enhanced heat dissipation
💡 Explanation
The reduced flow stemming from high viscosity causes decreased actuator speed because the fluid's internal friction rises inhibiting movement, rather than allowing greater pressures; therefore, the flow resistance elevates because of increased internal shear related to viscous drag.
