Bob, I appreciate the well thought out test although I am not ready to say I understand its implications. How much coolent flow is required is related to other variables such as radiator size and air volume passing through the radiator. It may be the case that slower coolent flow is preferable or at least acceptable. We know that the EWPs will work if the other variables are optimised. Leon’s racing experinece with EWPs and Todds ability to cool a turbo with an EWP, have me thinking that we need to focus on the other components of the cooling equation and not worry about the EWP.

Thanks Rusty. It was a real breakthrough when I realized I was trying
to test viscosity and not temperature. I have pictures at

I'm not sure what I'm going to do now. Lookin at the equations on the
Engineering Tool Box, I think I can only expect about 16 GPM with the
55 GPM pump. I'd like to know how Meziere rates those pumps. I've
seen lower flow and higher current across the board.

Nice test Bob. Good idea to test two different fluids, rather than trying
to raise the temp. Of course it's too bad that the flow didn't increase
like the silly French guy <g> said it would, but not surprising. I would
have been amazed if it had really changed that much.

Cheers,
Rusty (gotta fly a Cherokee 140 in a couple weeks, yuck)
