← ScienceWhich increased risk occurs to hydraulic systems exposed to high fluid flow?
A)Cavitation erosion of valve components✓
B)Reduced fluid bulk modulus stability
C)Increased laminar boundary layer thickness
D)Decreased seal material oxidation rate
💡 Explanation
Cavitation erosion increases because the Reynolds number indicates turbulent, high-velocity flow initiates vapour bubble formation and collapse, thus causing material damage. Therefore, cavitation erosion increases rather than reduced bulk modulus because high velocity is key.
