If the reactor is entangled globally as indicated in nanoplasmonic theory, heat transfer would be isothermal based on super fluidic heat transfer. The hydrogen would be the same temperature as the powder. and so would the walls of the inner reactor tube. The secret sauce may be used to produce dy

Fran, I would not guess how Rossi bonds the powder to the wall, only that this must be done. A secret sauce is applied before the Ni is placed in the e-Cat in order to create the NAE. You need to identify how many additional secret sauces you think are involved. He also places a hydride in
