Only ~ 1.5w here but......
Heat Dump =HeatFlux + KPa*LPM/60
LPM=HeatFlux/(69.77*dT - Kpa/60)......(Cp=4186 J/KgC) Think 60 is rigorous but not checked)

Dunno what it does to your queried "dp correction?= -0.05"

Edit: As usual, corrected graph.
This I didn't think of Les. I have not explored this at all, is it that how it works, KPa*lpm/60 = extra heat?

Have not been here. I will check this out.
There is definitely an offset on the dP readings. I check by decreasing flow to zero and the reading goes negative. This is a constantly changing value, I need to fix some leaks, it could also be a waterblock dependent offset, certainly a "fill of the system" dependent parameter. Easy to check before each measurement though. If it's affecting flow rate readings I need to pay more attention to it.
