← ScienceWhich outcome accompanies exceeding hydraulic fluid's cavitation limit?
A)Volumetric locking becomes substantially more common
B)System efficiency decreases; gas bubbles collapse✓
C)Viscosity changes prevent efficient lubrication
D)Seal lifetime is extended considerably within machinery
💡 Explanation
Efficiency diminishes because cavitation is a phase transition where liquid vaporizes due to reduced pressure, creating bubbles; therefore kinetic energy losses occur as collapsing bubbles introduce turbulence and energy transfers, rather than a smooth flow.
