← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when pulsations overload a hydro-pneumatic accumulator?
A)Pressure amplification induces resonant oscillations✓
B)System efficiency remains unchanged perpetually
C)Fluid viscosity increases steadily therein
D)Thermal dissipation reduces system power
💡 Explanation
System resonance emerges, wherein pulsations, triggering pressure intensification via the `inertance` of the gas volume in the accumulator, generating resonant oscillations because that volume resonates. This outcome is system resonance rather than damped flow; hydraulic damping implies less energy.
