Which outcome is most probable when a hydraulic pump operates with fluid containing dissolved air?

💡 Explanation

When hydraulic fluid contains dissolved air, this lowers the bulk modulus of the fluid, leading to compressibility because increased free volume gives the molecules more 'room'. Therefore reduced actuator speed and precision occurs, rather than overheating, cavitation, or viscosity changes which require independent stimuli.
