Aluminum is good to what? 500c give or take?
I'm not even certain it didn't get hot enough to melt some engine parts......made of very high temp alloys.....Toss in a couple thousand gallons of JPX and you have QUITE the blaze.
Steel girders ran like water.....so it got that hot and to spare.
I get the compression temp increase. We get that here in SoCal when the winds blow down out of the local mountains. I just wonder how much and if TIME allowed such transfer of energy?
DEcompression would tend to cool things....like a fire extinguisher or even a spray can of paint..
Under those conditions, I'd expect MOST of the atmosphere in the 'sub' to simply be pushed into the water. No 'bubbles' probably made it to the surface......Think 'bends'......
Water temp was down around 32f, give or take.
OH! I just got it.......5000 PSI (give or take) TIMES the surface area......That DOES total up to quite a huge value......
Too much is never enough
