Which outcome results when an oversized throttling valve introduces increased fluid shear in a high-pressure hydraulic system?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated fluid degradation occurs because increased fluid shear induces a **viscous heating** mechanism within the hydraulic oil, therefore breaking down the long-chain polymers, rather than aiding any improved condition, which could occur under different temperatures or pressures.
