On the off chance your project is not in the realm of science or technology or engineering, I apologize for this post.

Always good to go on a message board to get such info. Credible, cited sources are so overdone.

"It is generally accepted that water cooling is 20% - 30% more efficient than air cooling."
this is the only quote I could find on the web.
MORE, LOTS , and TONS are not Technical enough for a master project. I was looking for some kind of numbers to throw in there 20-30% sounds to low but that wasn't for water cooling a processor it was for water cooling a frig on a boat .

How can it sound too high or too low when you have no idea what "efficient" means in that context? Did it not occur to you to ask that?

I though I recalled reading traveling water was 200-300 times more efficient and forced air.

Yay. You don't know anything about thermal convection. Your advisor must be proud.
Liquids have heat transfer coefficients in the realm of 100 times air. This does not translate to an "efficiency."

Any one have a good number I can throw in there or know of a source I can look into to get one.

Here's a good source:

No problem. Always glad to take down people feigning authority so poorly they can't even be pressed to spell correctly.
BillA should be able to pick up the pieces.
