1. Overheating (score: 1): Author: mfrankfo@nebula.tbe.com; Date: Thu, 16 Sep 93 10:35:16 CDT; I had the same problem with my 2 1/2 Litre Riley. It turned out that with out a termostat the water was going through the radiator so fast it didn't have time to cool. OI put in a termostat and the w; /html/british-cars/1993-09/msg00241.html (7,261 bytes)
2. Re: Overheating (score: 1): Author: lupienj@wal.hp.com (John Lupien); Date: Thu, 16 Sep 93 12:31:29 EDT; This is what I would call an "invented rationalization". There is no way that more coolant flow will give less cooling. It is a thermodynamic impossibility. Much more likely is that the lack of a th; /html/british-cars/1993-09/msg00246.html (7,837 bytes)
3. Re: Overheating (score: 1): Author: mburdick@unmc.edu (Mike Burdick); Date: Thu, 16 Sep 93 14:15:37 CDT; Isn't it possible that the coolant could leave the radiator before much of the heat it contained was transfered to the air flowing through the radiator? Since air doesn't absorb heat very well, it s; /html/british-cars/1993-09/msg00249.html (7,897 bytes)
4. Re: Overheating (score: 1): Author: lupienj@wal.hp.com (John Lupien); Date: Thu, 16 Sep 93 15:59:46 EDT; No, it isn't possible. The coolant inside the radiator is in constant thermal contact with the inside of the radiator metal. What difference does it make whether one coolant particle at 100C or ten; /html/british-cars/1993-09/msg00252.html (9,109 bytes)
5. Re: Overheating (score: 1): Author: megatest!bldg2fs1!sfisher@uu2.psi.com (Scott Fisher); Date: Thu, 16 Sep 93 17:56:14 PDT; Time isn't the only thing you've varied, Mike -- assuming that you did shorten the time (which I doubt -- see below for the real answer), you increased the quantity of coolant that passes through th; /html/british-cars/1993-09/msg00255.html (9,687 bytes)
6. Re: Overheating (score: 1): Author: lupienj@wal.hp.com (John Lupien); Date: Fri, 17 Sep 93 11:15:04 EDT; Actually the net change is rarely zero, since most radiators are over-capacity by design (MGs excepted, perhaps). Increasing the flow rate of the coolant can get more of the radiator up to temperatu; /html/british-cars/1993-09/msg00264.html (7,776 bytes)
7. Re: Overheating (score: 1): Author: Teriann J. Wakeman <twakeman@apple.com>; Date: Fri, 17 Sep 93 14:53:35 -0700; About your radiator flow theory. Say per you argument that the coolent is in there half as much time. You argument seems correct if you have in infinite amount of coolent flowing through once. But t; /html/british-cars/1993-09/msg00275.html (9,000 bytes)
8. Re: Overheating (score: 1): Author: lupienj@wal.hp.com (John Lupien); Date: Fri, 17 Sep 93 18:23:28 EDT; While what you say is true, there is another effect that you are neglecting. Not only does the coolant go through the radiator twice as fast, it goes through the ENGINE twice as fast, and thus picks; /html/british-cars/1993-09/msg00276.html (9,302 bytes)
9. Re: Overheating (score: 1): Author: tsang@cs.washington.edu (Donald Tsang); Date: Fri, 17 Sep 93 15:58:03 -0700; I heard there was a waterpump cavitation problem when running without a thermostat. That, without the backpressure, there would actually be LESS flow, rather than more. YMMV, of course. Donald; /html/british-cars/1993-09/msg00278.html (7,329 bytes)
10. Overheating (score: 1): Author: mfrankfo@nebula.tbe.com; Date: Mon, 20 Sep 93 13:57:45 CDT; I am amused by the lack of knowledge of heat flow out there in net-land. Heat flow is exponential with exposure time. That means that if x calories was loss when y gallons spent s seconds in the radi; /html/british-cars/1993-09/msg00296.html (7,785 bytes)
11. Re: Overheating (score: 1): Author: lupienj@wal.hp.com (John Lupien); Date: Mon, 20 Sep 93 15:35:13 EDT; I am amused by the simplified models that people try to use to model systems that are not much like the model. Saying that heat flow is exponential with exposure time ignores the basic fact that the; /html/british-cars/1993-09/msg00298.html (9,756 bytes)

Fieldson" <krikor@jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu>; Date: Tue, 21 Sep 1993 10:55:32 -0400; There are all sorts of neat ideas about cooling systems running around. A good demonstration of the fact that different ideas, which all seem to make sense, can lead to opposite conclusions. I will; /html/british-cars/1993-09/msg00313.html (10,167 bytes)
