Which consequence results when insufficient lubrication occurs in a turbine engine?

💡 Explanation

Insufficient lubrication causes increased dry contact between rotating pieces. This results by increased Adhesive wear, thus increasing component wear, because asperity tips shear, removing material, therefore component degradation accelerates rapidly, leading to catastrophic failure rather than reduced thermal efficiency.
