← ScienceWhich outcome results when lubricant flow through a narrow bearing transitions to turbulence?
A)Increased heat generation and vibration✓
B)Reduced oil viscosity near surfaces
C)Stable uniform temperature distribution
D)Improved load-carrying capacity overall
💡 Explanation
When lubricant flow transitions to turbulence, increased friction forces cause increased heat generation and vibration, because the increased mixing leads to viscous dissipation; therefore, increased heat and vibration results, rather than stable temperature distribution under laminar flow.
