And how can i be "sadly misstaken" when simple physics say so?
Have you actually measuerd the tempdifference between inlet and outlet? Or can you show me where the simple formula is wrong please.
EDIT:
Hmm I just realized that a flow of 2L/s is actually ALOT.
EHEIM 1250 produces 0.3 L/s with no resistance.
so lets take 0.1L/s instead which gives a deltaT of 0.5 which is still to small to make a difference and remember that this is with a 200W heatload.

In my testing a rise by .5C in the water changes the cpu temp. I'm getting a through system flow rate of 360gph (1gal = 3.9liter) so in liters that's 24lpm or .4lps. An average system usually gets 70 - 80gph or .08lps
You're trying to solve something by equation, but I have a real high flow system which keeps the water outlet temps only 2.5C higher than the room ambient at full load, overclocked.
Higher flow is better for watercooling whether it's in a nuclear powerplant, a car, or a computer. Read the third link that gmat posted a few posts back, very clear and informative.
