The resistance through each tube is the same, so I would imagine that each tube would get very similiar flow. Why would 90% of the coolant go through half of the channels? The coolant wants to go the path of least resistance, which means it wants to go through all of the tubes at the relatively same speed. The big open tank takes a volume of coolant, then the coolant needs to go somewhere. It will divide evenly between the tubes. That is how I see it.
Keep in mind that I did not change how this rad works in normal operation.
Thanks for the input, and keep it coming....
