1. A production method comprising:
flowing a heterogeneous fluid mixture into contact with a homogenizing cutting tool, wherein the fluid mixture is a lubricant;
measuring a fluid mixture temperature so as to obtain a measured fluid mixture temperature and determining a target fluid mixture temperature;
frictionally heating the fluid mixture so as to obtain a heated and homogenized fluid mixture by driving the cutting tool at a rate based on (i) the target fluid mixture temperature and (ii) the measured fluid mixture temperature; and
flowing the heated and homogenized fluid mixture away from the cutting tool.
