← ScienceWhich risk elevates when lubrication fails in bearings?
A)Hydrodynamic wedge interruption✓
B)Reduced convective surface cooling
C)Elevated fluid film temperature
D)Decreased cavitation bubble collapse
💡 Explanation
Hydrodynamic wedge interruption increases, causing metallic contact because viscosity reduction from lubricant breakdown prevents stable film formation; therefore, load transfer path degrades rather than remaining isolated under pressure.
