Steve,
You are absolutely correct! The rate of heat transfer is determined by the
resistance of the boundary layers of the coolant and the air. The greater
the velocity of coolant through the radiator and the velocity of air, the
thinner the boundary layer and therefore the less resistance to heat
transfer.
