[TR] Water pumps.

well put.  
If the term 'book smart' offended anyone.... please excuse me...
perhaps the terminology has changed over the years.... was simply a reference to 'stats' and or 'equations' used for debate....

As in nature...if TIME had nothing to do with all this, just as in the oceans of the world, you would not need a water pump at all to circulate water.  The engine 'warmed' water would rise to the top. ...would be replaced by water from the bottom of the cooler radiator, creating space for the warm water to rise to/escape to...cycle repeats... (regardless of where you want to start the loop  heat/cold  cold/heat).  So 'flow control' IS relative.  In Reality.... clogs DO reduce cooling.  RATE (by equations) has no effect on BTU of the exchanger.  

Your description of the heat transfer function is/was a definition of execution 'capability' of the device . BTU is not a measure of work, simply of energy. A relational definition.  My flow comment was one of scale/size requirement to perform work in a reasonable amount of time. We were apparently referencing different faces of the same function.

Dave makes a good point.  And I made a classic error - I failed to
state my assumptions. Mea culpa...

It's got me curious now, though...if I had any spare time, it would be
interesting to model heat transfer in a Triumph system sand see where
the bottlenecks are.  (My money is on plugged radiators).
