Which outcome reduces hydraulic pump flow rate with increased operating hours?

A)Increased internal leakage
B)Decreased fluid heat capacity
C)Elevated component surface tension
D)Reduced fluid dielectric strength

💡 Explanation

Increased wear leads to widening of internal clearances, increasing internal leakage due to reduced viscous resistance; this mechanism diverts flow away from the intended output. The flowrate deceases, therefore, rather than change in heat capacity because leakage is the dominant affect and higher wear.
