How it works.
Or how i'm planning to do it.
The program will do a series of passes, each solving a particular problem.
1 - solving flow: the Pressure/Flow data of each component will be matched and the program will output a resultant flow. From now on we'll assume the flow is fixed, ie not dependant on external factors or temperature.
2 - Air flow - for the rad. Need Flow / Pressure data (of the chosen fan)
3 - Heat dissipation for the rad, air side. Using air flow / air dissipation data and ambient temp.
4 - Heat dissipation for the rad, water side. using water flow / water dissipation data
4.5 - correlate the heat impedance for the rad.
5 - Heat impedance in the WB. Using Flow / Heat resistance.
6 - Water temperature: this will take into account the heat impedances of elements vs the heat source and vs the heat dissipation of the rad.
(do we need to consider the sequential aspect here ?)
7 - heat source temperature.
----
At every stage no formula is involved. I know some ppl here want to write formulas for elements, but writing a parser for math formulas is a diffcult task, and not a goal of this project.
The program will use 100% interpolated data, actually it will build polynoms upon a set of data points provided in XML files of elements.
Each solving stage will use Newton's method.

Did i forget anything ? (or made any mistake ?)
