Technology

Which outcome occurs when significant dissolved air enters the pumping circuit of a hydraulic elevator?

A)Cavitation reduces pumping efficiency
B)Shear thickening increases fluid viscosity
C)Elastohydrodynamic lubrication improves sealing
D)Oils maintain thermal convective stability

💡 Explanation

Cavitation occurs because the dissolved air lowers the fluid's vapor pressure; therefore, the pump creates vapor bubbles that collapse violently, damaging the impeller and reducing efficiency, rather than increasing viscosity or improving lubrication given low air concentration.
