I predict a thermal resistance of ~.255 C/W at 0.1 lpm for an MCW5002 and ~.285 C/W for a White Water at 0.1 lpm. (Inasmuch as these numbers have any relevance, it is WRT Bill's die simulator.)

I don't really want to go into a detailed explanation of how I came up with these numbers. In brief, I used my 'hydropower' spreadsheet to make fairly straight lines on a log graph out of the C/W vs 'hydropower' curves, and then extrapolated those lines to the 0.1 lpm point.
Something like this:-


Cannot vouch for accuracy of data points(inpection of gifs).

EDIT: Revised/updated graph to include experimental data points. Thanks Bill
