← ScienceWhich mechanism reduces lubrication effectiveness when bearing temperature increases?
A)Viscosity reduction decreases fluid film✓
B)Surface tension increases contact area
C)Increased density promotes separation
D)Thermal expansion creates excessive pressure
💡 Explanation
Reduced viscosity decreases hydrodynamic lift forming the fluid film because higher temperatures lower the lubricant's resistance to flow, therefore the bearing surfaces experience increased friction and wear, rather than supporting the load adequately.
