You don't want steam or superheated water flowing by the last on in line. I would put several pipes in parallel through the engine block with water going through all of them. This is how steam locomotive and marine engine boilers worked, either with fire tubes or water tubes. With a 10 x 10 array, the water would flow past at most 10 cells. I do not think you would want it to flow past 100 cells. - Jed
