Default Several random questions here

Ok, time to get deeper in this 'waterblock construction' thingy.

here are some questions, and i will ask more as i remenber them:

How you do you calculate the perfect fin area?
In cathar's ww i would just do 0.1 mm fins with 0.1 mm channels, but looks like that would be bad, why? what are the formulas/calculations/teories behind it?

How do you calculate the area of the sprayers?
i mean, in cathar's cascade block, he has 36 'tubes' with i dunno what diameter, making an X area of sprayers. How is that calculate, so that you calculate it without becaming low speed sprayers and without restricting too much the flow? The pump parameters enter here too right?

How do you calculate base ticness?
i saw somewhere it was related to the fins area?? :shrug:

why turbulance is better? water makes more contact with the 'walls'? Cant we add something to the water to make it 'contact' more with the copper?

how to calculate flow resistance in a block?

what is the impingement efect?

NOTE: english isn't my native language, normally i get quite confused, but in this treat if i do, i will just keep asking untill i understand it sorry
