← ScienceWhich consequence results when non-Newtonian hydraulic fluids experience increased shear?
A)Viscosity decreases (shear thinning)✓
B)Pressure waves become amplified
C)Fluid density becomes heterogeneous
D)Cavitation erosion drastically accelerates
💡 Explanation
Viscosity decreases because the shear thinning mechanism causes polymeric chain alignment, therefore reducing resistance to flow rather than causing pressure amplification, density changes, or accelerated cavitation, which occur under different conditions.
