^ No I mean Shiping Yu, "Slip flow convection in Isoflux rectangular microchannels"
amoung other ASME micro channel research.

I still prefer the old FEA software, but his work on micro channels is well worth considering.

As too the suspension stuff we are working on, no it is Hydraulic not pneumatic and is DC based, not a power take off. Something like what we do with ABS.

Will reduce weight and total losses. The key of course is the pump and fluid, which is not ours, but as I indicated some vary cool tech
Alot of people are working on this, and we are just working off pre-spec's for rolling proof of concept.

Sorry if I suggested all where restrictive, it is just from what I have seem over Dave's shoulder, alot of them look VERY restrictive (he is doing impeller matching).
When I designed the 750, all the blocks we had where large channels, think you guys where just discovering micro-channel set-up.

Personally, I am not a big fan of micro-channels, as I believe you can get just as good of results with simple surface area / turb flow. But again, not my field, and not the way I can tell your industry is going.
