I've tried a number of experiments with very-undervolted fans and sometimes got results that didn't fit my "mental model" of what should occur, so there may be some unexpected things here, too - and this might be particularly interesting information for any waterblock manafacturer working on capturing market share in the "ultra low noise" (AKA "German") market... And maybe it's cold fusion (meaning some un-thought-of-effect fools experimenters). |
I don't see there this comes from.
If the flow rate in the series sections of the loop (Lets say A and B) is X then the flow rates in the two parallel sections (lets say A and B) will sum to X. If the flow rate is the same in the two parallel section then it will be half that in the series section e.g:
Code:
A + B = X
If A = B, A = X/2 not 2X
Just remember flow is volume of water per unit time, not the velocity of the water.
