Which outcome results when viscosity increases within pumped hydraulic systems?

💡 Explanation

Increased viscosity causes greater internal fluid friction: therefore, increased frictional pressure losses occur due to viscous dissipation, rather than improved pump efficiency or reduced turbulence which are favored by lower viscosity.
