Which consequence results when viscosity increases significantly in lubrication described by the Hagen-Poiseuille equation?

💡 Explanation

Higher viscosity causes a greater pressure drop to maintain flow rate because the increased internal fluid friction generates more resistance, leading to higher pumping energy input; therefore, increased heat generation occurs, rather than reduced wear, since lubrication suffers.
