I believe that moving water will remove heat faster then a non moving piece of copper.
Unfortuatly I have no proof...
and don't have the math background to create one.
Well, point one:
Wrong. Air's thermal conductivity is not changing just because it is moving -neither does water. But you have to have airflow or water flow, or the water/air around your heatsink/waterblock will continue to heat up. The thermal energy transfered is a function of the difference in temperatures between the two.
