Question

Explain how does lubrication reduce friction​

Answer 1

Answer:

Lubrication reduces the heat generated when two surfaces are in motion. It smoothes the process by forming a film between two surfaces that reduces friction and thus improves performance and efficiency. There are different variety of lubricants and oils available such as Engine Oil, Hydraulic Oil, and Greases.

Answer 2

Answer:

Lubricants effect friction as when applied fill up the irregularities due to which interlocking of irregularities becomes less and thereby friction is reduced. ...
