Which effect diminishes when reducing oil viscosity in turbine bearings?

💡 Explanation

Reduced oil kinematic viscosity lowers the fluid's internal resistance and therefore frictional losses, which drive friction-induced heating, because a thinner film experiences less shear. Therefore, less heat is generated, rather than alternative effects linked to turbulence or cooling that require high viscosity.
