Specifically in 'drafting' situations of NASCAR and FORMULA-I, where the trailing vehicle's radiator was occulted from the airstream, the engines overheated, and the oil thinned below it's critical viscosity, causing actual contact between moving parts.
If you want to add some additional context to your hypothetical rabbit hole I'll be happy to participate, 'AFTER' you've addressed my 'wall of text'.
And consider a one-hour minimum, at $270/hour, a fair compensation for my time.
You need to learn something about 'costs' and 'prices' for specialized information.
Tribologists are currently paid an average $ 171,428- year salary, up to $ 237,765 / year, and they're 'provided a laboratory and equipment free of charge.
Please be mindful of this when you contact Dr. Erdemir.
