I know... don't get me wrong. While I am not an expert with heatflow by any means, I do remember some of what I was taught. And I don't think I disagree with a single point that you made in your post. Like I said, it is only a question of how much heat is transferred......

P.S. I never meant to include submerged setups in this thread, because... well... where else would the heat go?
