← ScienceWhich risk increases as jet fuel viscosity decreases?
A)Increased fuel injector pump cavitation✓
B)Decreased engine thermal efficiency
C)Elevated exhaust NOx formation rates
D)Reduced fuel tank pressurization rate
💡 Explanation
Lower jet fuel viscosity yields less lubrication protecting moving parts, because increased pressure results in easier formation of vapor bubbles. Therefore, the injector pump is more prone to cavitation, rather than effects involving combustion thermodynamics.
