Default equations

hey,

with steady state assumptions

0 = Q - W + m[(h1 - h2) + (v1^2 -v2^2)/2 + g(z1 - z2)

Q, W, m have dot

dm/dt = mass flow in - mass flow out

this is for a thermodynamics course, but it seems like i'm dealing with a lot of heat transfer course material...

i'm looking at the control volume of just the cpu and waterblock with the water running through it. I'm trying to figure the energy (heat) transfer from the cpu to the water as it passes through the block. I need to find a specific watercooling system first i think, then use max flow/min flow and figure out what temp the cpu is running at (idle, max load) and the cpu cooling is via water is working.
so, the water coming in (flow rate/temp) then water flowing out (flowrate,temp) then cpu heat transfer(qin)

yeaa someting like that..

lol..

sigh
