There seems to be 2 distinctly different curves. The Swiftech has a very different curve to the other blocks. Is this largely because of the baseplate thickness? It seems to make sense to me in my little world that the base plate thickness would have quite a large effect on the shape of the curve. .. |
WAJ_UK, funnily enough this is exactly what I have been looking at. I agree.
I have been violently simplifying the whole problem and have generated a "waterblock simulator" which has 2 variables: Baseplate thickness (average) and FOM.
Without knowing the actual bp thickness of any of these blocks I'll stick my head on the block and see what comments it generates. Oh dear, bad pun.
Before I get crucified for spreading bad science, this is just some thoughts and an attempt to simplify the problem FOR MY SELF. The BP thickness is a guess. The FOM is actually based on apparent local surface area, more turbulent blocks appear to have a greater surface area. "h" is just "h", the temperatures are generated based on these values which could be miles off. The blocks are fitted to phaestus's data, the MCW6000 is a guess based on Swiftech C/W data, "h" being somehow proportional to flowrate.
All horribly arbitary.
