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. <br> <br> 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. <br> </span></span></span><div><br> <span style="font-size: small;">v/r</span><br> <br></div><div style="clear: both;">ptegler@verizon.net<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica; font-size: 10pt; color: black;">-----Original Message-----<br> From: Jeff Scarbrough <fishplate@gmail.com><br> To: Triumphs (triumphs@autox.team.net) <triumphs@autox.team.net><br> Sent: Thu, May 11, 2017 12:55 pm<br> Subject: Re: [TR] Water pumps.<br> <br> On Thu, May 11, 2017 at 8:49 AM, Dave <<a href="mailto:dave1massey@cs.com">dave1massey@cs.com</a>> wrote:<br> > Do not conflate delta T and heat flow.<br> <br> Dave makes a good point.
