Water Cooling Question...

m2c4u · 09-29-01, 04:57 PM

Lets say that I have my pump and its pumping water through a 9 millimetre tube for around 1 metre then the tube is connected to a 6 mm tube for another metre and then to my water block. What im saying is that if the tube goes larger to smaller the water will speed up then giving better water temps. Am i right? I really want to know if this is correct.

I dont think it will make a difference in temps

you can have a 150gph pump and get the same temps as a 400gph pump

Going to a smaller tube is probably not going to help, in fact, it might hurt your flow rates.

Smaller tubes equal a faster velocity for the water. Forgot the formula, but that is how it works. HOWEVER, going to a smaller tube is going to decrease the amount of water going through.

the formula of what you are thinging of is

I=R/E

Probably the Letter is wrong but it is

x=y/z

ahhhhh~ something like that.

The server is almost overloaded as it is, despite us having pumped it full of matrices!

Sometimes solutions are NP complete and there's nothing anyone can do about it! Foreman, sneak into the physics department and reroute their servers to ours, we need the extra processors if we don't want this equation to go quadratic on us. Chase, patch the memory leak and install Matlab 9.3. Chase: Shouldn't we be using Mathematica for potentially asymptotic functions? House: When I want your opinion, I'll do an affine transformation to get it. I'm off to see Cuddy. Those parabolic eigenvalues of hers must be good for something.
