← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a heavily-used oil pump loses viscosity?
A)Increased fluid mechanical energy loss✓
B)Improved system thermal conductivity
C)Decreased resistance to hydraulic lock
D)Enhanced pump cavitation protection
💡 Explanation
Increased mechanical energy loss occurs because viscosity reduction causes a decrease in fluid friction, facilitating turbulence, and energy dissipation. This leads to greater fluid mechanical energy loss, therefore A is right rather than beneficial thermal transfer, decreased hydraulic lock resistance, or superior pump cavitation protection.
