← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when oil's viscosity decreases within a journal bearing?
A)Increased bearing wear at high speeds✓
B)Reduced frictional heat generation overall
C)Enhanced lubricant film load capacity
D)Greater damping of shaft vibrations
💡 Explanation
Decreased viscosity allows thinner oil films; boundary lubrication prevails because fluid film lubrication diminishes; therefore, increased bearing wear occurs at higher speeds due to asperity contact, rather than cooler temperatures, superior load capacity, or greater damping.
