[TR] Water pumps.

[TERRY SMITH]

I just gotta say, I had the greatest time reading this debate.  I was an English major undergrad, and found with fascination that there were lots of English words strung together that I still had no idea what any of it meant!  It was sort of like a crossword puzzle, just one of those ones I lost at.


Still, I can't thank all of you enough for being on the list and contributing.  I may not understand the heat exchange formula, but now I know there is such a thing.


Now, if you guys could only engineer a way to keep the blood I keep smearing on my interior from staining every time I pull the tranny tunnel....?????

New Hampshire   where the car is all sorted (well mostly) and the rain has stopped so it's a nice drive to work tomorrow!

(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.

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.
