Which outcome results when lubricant viscosity degrades at high shear?

💡 Explanation

Increased frictional heating and wear occurs because shear thinning lowers viscosity in the boundary lubrication regime; this reduces film thickness and increases friction, rather than occurring due to increased pump power or changed harmonics in the shaft.
