Whether or not the water flow is powered by the pump

No, it may not. That's out of the question. I have operated many flow
calorimeters of all sizes and types, and there is absolutely no way you
can detect the kinetic energy with this type of calorimeter.
Furthermore, if you could, they would see it when they turn on the flow
and prepare to do calorimetry, before they turn on the machine. The
balance would be positive. It isn't.
A lack of water movement may explain why some PF type cells failed to
perform in the past.
They depended on the fickle nature of convection to spring to life.
Not a chance.
