Why haven't you used your Gay-Lussac's law wizardry to prove it wasn't oil ?
Stop waving that pitchfork around and show us some evidence proving it couldn't be oil.
You couldn't even destroy your own straw man...... You would be no match for a witch.

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.
Auxiliary parts of a jet engine that require coolants use kerosene or air. Oil is an incidental contributor.
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.

So you see, the primary cooling element is air and internally to a jet engine coolant gas may also be used. So please refer to the above quote about ratios.
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.
The calories in the Exxon document is about the relative values of the oil itself and not the jet engine!
calorie or calory (ˈkælərɪ)
— n , pl -ries
Compare Calorie cal , gram calorie , Also called: small calorie a unit of heat, equal to 4.1868 joules ( International Table calorie ): formerly defined as the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1°C under standard conditions. It has now largely been replaced by the joule for scientific purposes.

I have already had this discussion with others so I am not going to repeat myself. Sorry
Do you still deny oil is used for cooling?
Originally posted by MI5edtoDeath
Yup. You cool the oil but you don't use the oil for cooling. The differential between hot oil and cooled oil is insignificant compared to the temperature of the jet engine.
No more on this matter. Thanks.
If you apply pressure to any liquid, the temperature increases and cannot possibly be used in that state as a coolant. If you remember your 8th grade education, this is known as Gay-Lussac's law. I repeat, Gay-Lussac's law and not gay loser's law.
Furthermore, jet engines are not cooled because the objective is to draw in air, to compress it to raise the temperature and to ignite the fuel for thrust.

If someone challenges what I say I'm going to defend it, no matter what side you're on in this debate.
Please tell us more.

Are those the two guys you are claiming removed the real engine and replaced it with a fake one ?
Did they also do the photoshoping ?
How much scotchguard did they have to spray on their chinos to keep the oil from staining ?
Did they use fake nonstaining oil on the engine ?
Exactly why couldn't the engine end up there ?

Do you notice the scaffolds at the upper levels? Strange, huh?
Who are Atlantic Heydt Scaffolding and how do you know they are the ones who erected the ones in the photo?
