Which outcome occurs when a hydraulic pump's volumetric efficiency declines excessively during operation?

💡 Explanation

When volumetric efficiency declines, internal leakage increases because worn seals and clearances allow fluid to bypass the intended flow path, leading to a pressure drop. Therefore system pressure drops, rather than temperature decreasing, actuator speed increasing, or extending lifespan, which rely on different performance characteristics.
