Which outcome occurs when thermal expansion stresses a hydraulic pump?

A)Volumetric efficiency decreases rapidly
B)Fluid viscosity increases dramatically
C)Pump casing remains unaffected entirely
D)Cavitation risk reduces noticeably

💡 Explanation

Decreased clearance increases internal leakage via the gap, therefore volumetric efficiency decreases, because the thermal expansion affects tight tolerance components inside the vane or gear pump using **tribological wear** mechanisms, rather than directly altering fluid characteristics.
