I calculated the actual area of the opening, and it came out to 13.00 mm^2. Nice guess! (I might post my calculations, if there's an interest, PM me!)
Tonight, I'm trying to calculate the hydraulic equivalent. I'll be using 4 rectangles, 1 by 3.25 mm. I can't think of any other way to try to estimate the pressure drop.
My latest considerations: dropping the BP thickness to 1.0, and/or dropping the fin height to 4mm. I'm still thinking about it...
Now how'd I let this thread drop to page 2?
