Here's an interesting question.

 

Considering the exhaust heat of the rotary is so much higher than a =

Lycoming, if doing a side-by-side comparison of the two with equal fuel =

burn rates, wouldn't the Lycoming have more engine heat to remove from =

under the cowl than the rotary?

 

The short = answer is that it is not a very interesting questionJ.  Too many variables, and not a real important = difference.
