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. |
