Which outcome occurs when lubricant flow transitions turbulent?

A)Increased wear from mechanical abrasion
B)Decreased pressure within the lubricant
C)Improved heat transfer efficiency
D)Reduced lubricant oxidation via saturation

💡 Explanation

Transition to turbulence enhances mixing and disrupts the laminar boundary layer because energy dissipates into chaotic eddies causing increased abrasion; thus, wear increases rather than decreasing pressure or increasing heat transfer like laminar flow lubrication.
