I am thinking about the design of water blocks after reading some of Cathers tenents of water block design, namely the part about high velocity creating high turbulance over the die area. And in my dads company, a steel and industrial supply and fabrication house we use water to drill in addition to clean and fire prevention. This cutting water is piped though a series of smaller pipes to gain some serious pressure and though a small diamond outlet..enough to cut/drill steel in some cases. It works on the simple principle of the potential energy (large pipe) turning into kenetic energy (small pipe small hole) thus creating massive water speeds.
Anyway I was wondering why we don't use 1" inlets piped into very small designs, like the innvoteck blocks for example or even smaller, to create this massive turbulence over the die area for maxium cooling?
