Bob, I are an engineer also (thank God for spell checkers), and deal
with heat transfer to water. Pool heaters. Simply put, the water does
not have time to pick up the heat transfer.
In pools, you valve the header to reduce the flow, and in car's a
restrictor is put into the system. Done all the time.
Red Line Water Wetter, improves this issue, more so with straight water,
that water with antifreeze. Check the Red Line web site, and they have
an explinaation of this process that covers some of the physics.
Been too long to remember the physics, but it works, and it is true.
