← ScienceWhich risk increases when hydraulic fluid's velocity exceeds turbulence limits?
A)Higher energy dissipation as heat✓
B)Reduced bulk liquid compressibility
C)Lower fluid oxidation reaction rate
D)Increased laminar boundary sheath stability
💡 Explanation
Increased flow rate beyond the Reynolds number promotes turbulent flow, and higher shear stresses occur because increased viscous dissipation is transformed as thermal energy rather than maintaining efficient fluid power, and stable fluid transport, therefore, heat exacerbates mechanical failure rates, rather than reducing reactions.
