Answer for mechanical systems:
Use oil or grease to reduce friction!
Answer for electrical systems:
Making the voltage as high as possible is a good way to reduce power loss.
Explanation
The voltage drop along a conductor is proportional to the resistance and to the current carried. (V=IxR) So, for a given quantity of Power (W=VxI), if the voltage is made as high as possible there will be less current flowing and therefore less power loss.

∙ 10y agoIf, by 'power dissipation', you mean 'power loss' along a power line, then the usual way of doing this is to reduce the value of the load current. In transmission/distribution systems, this is achieved by using a high supply voltage because, for a given load, the higher the supply voltage, the lower the load current.

What are the different types of power dissipation?
static power dissipation dynamic power dissipation short circuit power dissipation
What is the difference between power consumption and power dissipation?
A: POWER consumption is total power usage power dissipation is wasted power in the form of heat, IR drop and so on.
What are the limitations on forward bias?
A: That will be the power dissipation of the device itself
What are the limitations of norton's theorem?
norton's theorem is valid only for linear elements.. The power dissipation across norton equivalent circuit in not identical with the power dissipation in real system circuit...
How do you explain the MOSFET power dissipation?
It will make more sense if you first study the construction of MOSFET. It has three terminals, Gate (G), Source (S), and Drain (D). G is insulated from the S and D. Between S and D is a variable resistor, whose resistance depends on the voltage applied across G and S. Since SD is basically a resistor, you have power dissipation when a voltage is applied across S and D. Power dissipation = Vds * Ids.

Can power dissipation be prevented?
A: All devices have some kind of power dissipation. That is because some quiescent current must flow to keep them alive or functional

What is heat dissipation in a circuit?
Power isn't really dissipated in a circuit. It's energythat is dissipated. So the expression, 'power dissipation', really means is the 'rate of energy dissipation'.So, when an engineer asks, "What is the power dissipation?", what he is actually means is "What is the rate of energy dissipation?"What is energy dissipation? Well, work is done whenever a current flows through a conductor; this increases the internal energy of that conductor which, in turn, causes its temperature to rise. Because the temperature of the conductor is higher than the surrounding temperature, energy is lost to the surroundings through heat transfer.
Why would you want to decrease the power consumption of an integrated circuit?
you would want to decrease the power consumption of an integrated circuit to reduce power needed and at the same time reduce power dissipation meaning it will run cooler if overall power is reduced. With some families of logic circuits the voltage must be maintained at 5 volts for proper applications. The voltage applied determines the power that can be used effectively.
