← ScienceWhich phenomenon reduces hydraulic pump efficiency during startup?
A)Increased viscous drag✓
B)Elevated bulk modulus
C)Lowered fluid inertia
D)Decreased cavitation risk
💡 Explanation
Increased viscous drag arises during hydraulic pump startup because lower fluid temperature, acting via Arrhenius relation, increases oil viscosity; therefore, viscous losses increase, rather than bulk modulus reducing flow or cavitation creating vapor bubbles.
