Which consequence results when Reynolds number exceeds thresholds in lubrication?

A)Transition from laminar to turbulent flow
B)Increased fluid viscosity within the bearing
C)Improved heat transfer within lubricant
D)Reduced friction and viscous losses

💡 Explanation

Laminar flow transitions to turbulent flow when Reynolds number exceeds critical limits because inertial forces dominate viscous forces, therefore turbulence rises rather than maintained laminar flow. Increased turbulence causes increased vibration.
