← ScienceWhich outcome results when viscosity increases within pumped hydraulic systems?
A)Increased frictional pressure losses✓
B)Improved volumetric pump efficiency
C)Reduced fluid flow turbulence
D)Decreased energy dissipation rates
💡 Explanation
Increased viscosity causes greater internal fluid friction: therefore, increased frictional pressure losses occur due to viscous dissipation, rather than improved pump efficiency or reduced turbulence which are favored by lower viscosity.
