Which outcome occurs when high fluid velocity impairs lubrication?

💡 Explanation

Increased wear arises because energy dissipation from turbulent flow overwhelms the Reynold’s lubrication mechanism, leading to increased contact of sliding surfaces. Therefore, turbulence increases wear, rather than a heat transfer change or improved viscous friction.
