I refuse to answer on the grounds of re-occurring
anti-math backlash.  I WILL say that there is a heat
exchanger property known as Effectiveness (T_hot_in -
T_hot_out)/(T_hot_in - T_cold_in), which essentially
measures how well the heat exchanger is rejecting heat
to the ram air, and effectiveness INCREASES with
decreasing hot flow.  However, your overall heat
transfer goes down, as Ulix says.  The other problems
associated with "fast flow" are due to poor
distribution in the header/core.
