- Well, my email about cooling in relation to water flow seems to have stirred up a hornet's nest. I have tons of information for which I thank one and all. There was a definite chasm between the exper

- --snip-- Exactly. Barrie, this is simply not the case. Heat doesn't care if the medium it's going into or out of is moving fast, slow, or not at all. The only thing slowing down the coolant will do i

- There are a few other things to consider. The analogy with "air across the radiator" is flawed, because in that case the system is "open loop" and the air is the coolant, not the substance being coo

- I wonder (maybe one of you knows) why other liquids are not used in cooling systems? Mineral oil comes to mind or some other light weight oil. Is it because they do not transfer heat (from the engine

- Propylene Glycol (SP?) is used undiluted by some racers, and I wrote a little piece about it in an issue of the Newsletter. The only drawback is that it costs ~$100 U.S. to fill a typical system. Rea
