Which consequence results when lubricant starvation initiates in bearings?

A)Adhesive wear dramatically accelerates
B)Increased hydrodynamic film thickness
C)Decreased vibration frequency appears
D)Reduced heat transfer consistently occurs

💡 Explanation

Adhesive wear accelerates because lubricant starvation causes asperities to directly contact one another, initiating material transfer via adhesion. This is a direct consequence of diminished lubrication preventing surfaces separation, therefore adhesive wear increases rather than reducing heat transfer.
