Thought I would add some more.... I'm going for 1000 posts...

A good analogy for water flow is air, fans and heat sinks used in the electronics industry. Anyone who has looked inside a computer knows that there is a massive heat sink and fan on the processor. The obvious purpose of the fan is to increase airflow thru the heat sink to keep the CPU as cool as possible. The greater the airflow, the cooler the CPU.

In fact, the thermal specs on heat sinks show heat sink temperature vs. air flow. The sink temp is ALWAYS lower with greater airflow. Air is a fluid, same as water, just less dense.

An excellent analogy. Why didn't I think of it before?

Keep those dollars coming..... 1000 posts are in sight!

George
