<VV> How about the cooling fans from these engines?

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 There is a square thing going on, meaning it takes 4x the pressure to double the air flow. But it will double the air flow, so...

Jay,
I meant that increasing the air pressure just isn't effective  in trying to 
force more air past the current openings in the engine since the  blockage 
to the flow results in a diminishing return for a pressure  increase.

you mean that a greater pressure differential  won't flow more air?
Or that more airflow wouldn't increase heat  transfer?
