I didn't make any attempt to account for variations in tank geometry or inlet/outlet tubing size.
I just lumped all that into the 'overhead' factor mentioned above. For the simulated results, I added the same 'overhead' flow resistance as a single 'component' in series with the tubing flow resistance, for all three heatercores.
I'm interested in seeing the results for the reversed flow test. I'm not really expecting to see much difference, but if there is a clear difference it will be an indication that tank geometry, etc. is a significant factor. That would put a serious kink in our ability to generate models based on a few easily obtainable measurements.
More later.
Edit: Corrected "four heatercores" to three heatercores".
