What is a common result of localized hot spots in hydraulic systems?

Rapid cooling of the liquid

Carbonization or sludging of the liquid (correct)

Increase in viscosity

Formation of air bubbles

Why do liquids with high viscosity have a greater resistance to heat?

Because they are more likely to break down when exposed to air

Because they have a lower boiling point

Because they are more dense and have a higher heat capacity (correct)

Because they are more prone to chemical reactions

What is a common issue with the temperature of the liquid in the reservoir of an operating hydraulic system?

It is not affected by localized hot spots

It is always higher than the actual operating temperature

It does not always represent the true state of operating conditions (correct)

It is always lower than the actual operating temperature
