Which outcome occurs when lubrication oil degrades in bearings?

A)Increased frictional heat generation
B)Improved hydrodynamic film stability
C)Reduced adhesive wear rate
D)Enhanced contaminant particle suspension

💡 Explanation

Increased frictional heat occurs due to increased contact, degrading lubricant increases viscosity and reduces its ability protect surfaces, therefore increasing friction and thus heat; reduced protection is preferred rather than film stability which needs controlled flow.
