I'm tring to put this into one complete formula, too many question on what will take place.
I thank you for your input...
I also understand that if I pull any load on the drum, the fuild pressure will increase in the pump head pressure.This will in the effect produce a greater load in watts, I'm looking at speeds above 3600 rpm's this will produce cavitation and also greater heat in the system..
What is your opinion on my theory?

This is why I think it needs to be built...
Sorry for the late reply, been busy with other things...
So, I think the engine needs to be built so that you can see the actual performance and energy of the engine. My observations, along with those of others, won't really mean anything until you (and we) can see what actually happens...my ability to predict (based on my background) is imputed, it's intellectual, so seeing the machine in operation will make the results real.
As far as gas laws - sure, as temperature increases, in a gas, pressure increases, PV = nRT - the universal gas law captures that relationship, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the amount (in moles), R is a constant and T is the temperature in Kelvins (roughly celsius + 273).
But I don't see how the gas law applies in this instance, you're using a fluid (cooking oil) as the working substance in the engine, so while you see the temperature increase, it will result in only a little expansion of the working fluid.
Cavitation, as I know it, is the formation of bubbles due to local pressure variation, in other words, it is the formation and then immediate implosion of cavities in a liquid. This is a source of energy lost, of inefficiency, in propellers and pumps, not a source of energy creation...
You're right, there are a lot of complex variables in this, pressure, temperature, friction, turbulence, momentum, etc...it would be a daunting task to put it all in one equation...but I wouldn't bother. I would break down each component. Look at each step as the fluid goes through and determine the energy required for each step...and that's the key to this engine - where is energy yielded? Where does it come out of the system to do work? In each step that I analyze, I see energy being required, energy required to run the pump, energy required to move the fluid, energy required to overcome friction, energy required to overcome turbulence, and the only place in which I see anything being created is in the reaction (impulse) at the jets to create the rotation, but it's not enough to overcome all the other losses...in my opinion...
That's why the system hits an equilibrium...the rotation stops accelerating when energy in = energy lost to all those other things...
