utabintarbo, Since87, and bigben2k, if this works out, I owe each of you a free block.

Oh well, so much for my block


I've been trying to think of ways to improve on performance, and I keep hitting a wall. In previous design attempts, without jet inpingement, the temperature differential was considered a factor in the design, but I believe that the jet inpingement takes that away. I'm thinking about how this block would perform with chilled water, and of course different coolants (as a result) with different viscosities and density, and I can't even think about how this design would/could be changed to accomodate that. I think that the jet inpingement application took some variables out of the design process.

Maybe I need a completely different approach.:shrug:
