BillA,

Am I being daft somewhere along the line because it appears that the theory which I am describing is sound, yet it is still causing trouble.

I would definitely like to have a discussion about why the radiators have a max efficiency around 1.5GPm.

The point I tried to make earlier was that no matter how accurate your measuring devices, you would not be able to detect any additional thermal load reducing from increased friction WITHIN the radiator itself as this is AFTER your initial temperature reading.

I'll have a think about this this afternoon and try and explain my thinking a little better. That's provided you don't point out any obvious mistakes which I'm making and have not seen.
