Which consequence results when cylinder wall lubrication fails in a reciprocating engine?

💡 Explanation

Increased friction from lubrication failure causes more energy to be lost as heat internally via enhanced molecular kinetic energy; this is because more kinetic energy converts to disorganized energy via friction (a dissipation process), therefore energy converts to heat rather than being available to do any useful work within the system.
