The smaller the diameter and the longer the tube, the greater the friction loss, thus reducing the pressure and flow.

Eliminating the drive seals gets rid of leaks, friction loss, wear and noise.

Aerodynamic friction losses can also play a part.

The oil becomes the heat sink for the friction losses generated by the bearing.

Wire rope systems cost one-tenth as much and had lower friction losses than line shafts.

The basic figure given is usually around 15 hp (11 kW), but this may be excessive for pure friction losses.

Rolling friction losses could be reduced by using a magnetically levitated train.

While friction loss has multiple applications, one of the most common is in the realm of firefighting.

As the velocity of water inside a hose increases, so does the friction loss.

Timely information means transparency that creates trust and avoids businesses making friction losses.
