I think you can see an example of this in BillA's MCW462-H vs MCW462-UH data.

One can compare the thermal resistance of the two blocks at operating points with equal inlet nozzle velocity. Even though the MCW462-UH is has a greater volumetric (and mass) flowrate at the same inlet velocity, the MCW462-H still has lower thermal resistance.
