i was trying to figure out how much square footage of exposure i'd need for a flat plate
radiator.   if i run 300hp (turbo 3 rotor)with 24% going to cooling heat, and 1/3 of that being
cooled with the oil then i need to cool about 48hp worth with the radiator.  let's say at
climbout, 80 mph air flow.  how much cooling area will be needed?  worst case,  water at 220
degrees F, air at 100F.  i was trying to figure what size of a flat plate type radiator this would
require, using say 12"x18" plates 1/2" apart.  i'm sure someone out there can probably do this in
their head.   kevin
