The recirculatory oil system stores, carries, cools, and distributes oil needed for lubricating and cooling every bearing, gear, spline, carbon seal, and certain accessories.

Now that every one except for MI5 has learned that jet engine oil is used as both a lubricant and a coolant,,,,,.

We should probably move on to something new.

But oil is used for cooling. I was a jet engine mechanic in the military btw, I can remember some of what I learned lol.
Oil is used to lubricate and cool bearings, carbon seals, the reduction gearbox etc. It's not used to cool the engine itself, you wouldn't want to cool the engine. I think that seems to be the confusion.

You guys ought to be ashamed of yourselves embarrassing a poor "truther" like that. Have mercy and allow him to get something right for a change... Didn't you know that "truthers" are smarter than everyone else. After all that's why they are "truthers" in the first place...
It can be seen in all the aerial photos....and if you follow its path back into the crater you will find that it originates from the very same spot the starboard engine would be located.

As you can see, even though it purged most of its oil on the way to the ground, It still has a mist of oil steaming out of it.

You use ramjet air to cool everything including the oil. The temperature difference between of desirable oil viscosity and hot oil in the circuit is negligible. We are talking between 40°C and 80°C when the heat around the the jet engine combustion chamber is at least 800°C. In the gear chamber, without ramjet air, it would be hot enough to ignite like diesel oil.
Introduction
International air regulations require that each engine be equipped with a self-contained oil system capable of providing continuous oil flow to the engine, under all conditions. The recirculatory oil system stores, carries, cools, and distributes oil needed for lubricating and cooling every bearing, gear, spline, carbon seal, and certain accessories.
The circulating jet oil has as its important functions: 90 percent to transfer calories, 5–10 percent to reduce friction, 2–3 percent to seal, to circulate contaminates to catchment devices and to protect against corrosion.

Yes ram air is use for cooling of the oil through the heat exchanger. The oil gets hot when it lubricates and the heat from the component transfers to it, the hot oil is used to warm the fuel, then the oil is cooled again as it passes through the exchanger. The oil cools the parts it lubricates, parts that are not open to ram air like the reduction gears, accessory gearbox, carbon seals, bearings.
In fact 90% of the oils job is cooling...

Jet Engine Oil System

A jet of coolant that is a significantly different temperature than the temperature of the gas flowing through the engine itself will have a different density. The density of the gas that flows through the engine divided by the density of the coolant gas is known as the density ratio. This is a very important controlling parameter in the operation of the engine cooling.

Both assertions are wrong because you cannot use added pressure to keep something from boiling.
Also oil has a poor heat transfer rate because it retains heat hence the use of the term "calories" which is a value to a fixed volume. This volume is the oil in the circuit.
...
The difference between coolant gas temperature and the temperature of gas in a jet engine is significant. The ratio of hot oil to a cooled oil is not significant because ratio is very low. It has a marginal effect. Oil is not used as a jet engine coolant.

I find it amusing that you'll go to any length to make yourself appear correct. You'll denigrate anyone and talk down to them, you'll deny even basic evidence ('prove that is an engine') and act as if you're the only educated person in the room.
Will you ever concede a point? Do you even have a theory about what happened that's remotely complete?
Doubt it.

Why should I concede when I know I am right?
No one can bully me into a position I do not agree with especially and anonymous opportunist and pursuer like you.
If you don't like what I believe; tough. Keep your rudeness to yourself.

The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the external pressure surrounding the liquid. Therefore, the boiling point of a liquid depends on atmospheric pressure. The boiling point becomes lower as the external pressure is reduced.
