Which mechanism leads to reduced pump efficiency when operating a hydraulic actuator system?

💡 Explanation

Cavitation reduces efficiency through energy loss during bubble formation and collapse; bubble implosion causes intensely localized pressure waves eroding surfaces because, the lower pressure allows dissolved gases vaporize and creating pockets. Therefore, surface pitting escalates and the pump loses effectiveness, rather than smoother flow from increased viscosity.
