One thing I always think about here, is whether blocks perform differently depending on their position in the loop. That is C/W, regardless of temerature.

Consider this, on the pump outlet, the pressure is positive and the maximum in the system, whereas, at the outlet, it is negative, ie it is being "sucked" into the pump rather than "pushed" from behind. The degree to which the water is being sucked/pushed will vary throughout the loop, though I guess you have to visualise the loop as a series of restrictions rather than the actual real world "length".

Now consider a White water. Would the flow in the block be different if the water were sucked from the outlet rather than pushed into the inlet?

In other words, would water being pushed or pulled through the block affect its performance?
