(Hydraulic reservoir)
When extreme temperature differential exists between points of origin and cruise altitude, a noticeable decrease in reservoir fluid quantity will occur due to fluid shrinkage. This indicated fluid decrease may be as much as _____.

Answer 1

When there is an extreme temperature differential between the points of origin and cruise altitude, the hydraulic reservoir fluid may shrink, causing a noticeable decrease in fluid quantity. This decrease can be as much as the amount of fluid that has contracted due to the temperature difference.

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is an extreme temperature differential between the points of origin and cruise altitude, the hydraulic reservoir fluid may shrink, causing a decrease in fluid quantity. This decrease can be as much as the amount of fluid that has contracted due to the temperature difference.

For example, in problem 57, a car radiator filled to its capacity at 10.0 °C will experience a decrease in fluid volume when it reaches a temperature of 95.0 °C. This decrease is due to the contraction of the fluid caused by the temperature change.

It is important to note that the amount of fluid decrease will depend on the specific system and the temperature difference involved.
