Which outcome occurs when a hydraulic relief valve experiences rapid cycling at high frequencies?

💡 Explanation

When a relief valve cycles rapidly, it induces pressure waves leading to system instability because the valve's opening and closing cannot match the pressure fluctuations. Therefore, pressure instability results, rather than changes to viscosity, actuator speed or temperature fluctuations unless the cycling’s effects cascade.
