i give up.. i just give up.. ive discussed this with several people and they all agree.

I will say this one last time.

there is water pressure. as the water flows through a component the water pressure drops. having lower water pressure makes blocks that use the jetting effect less effective. that has been my point from the beginng. that is how this all started.

if you have a lumpy chanenl (one in existence as far as i know) and you put it after the rad there will be no change in performance (possible increase due to the rad cooling down water after pump but not measureable). the lumpy channel is not affected because its performance is based entirely on flow.

that is a condesnsed version of what i have been saying the entire time. there really isnt anything to argue with on that front.


bob, i worded the stuff that you quoted very poorly. it came out wrong and you read it differently than i meant to say. my fault.

one thing that needs to be noted. these are not closed loops. if you have a res or a t line then its not strictly defined as a closed loop. closed loop implies that there is no way to add or subtract any water from the system without unhook tubing and draining it. in a closed loop the kPa or PSI in the loop is independent from the oustide world. with a res or t line then when the water reaches that t line or res the and the pressure levels out to as if the water were sitting in a cup. My point on saying that it isnt a closed loop entirely is that most of what your saying is true and i would be wrong if the system was an entirely closed loop. what you said about cavitation would be correct if it was a completely closed loop. but its not... so things are different.
