The calorimetry is documented in as much detail as >> you find in any HVAC inspection sheet: >> Duration of test: 18 hours >> Flow rate: 3,000 L/h = ~833 ml/s. >> Cooling water input temperature: 15°C >> Cooling water output temperature: ~20°C >> Input power from control electronics: variable, average 80 W, >> closer to 20 W for 6 hours . . . > You have to be kidding. This is supposed to represent a due diligence test??? > Wow, there must be a huge market for a device that can heat water from > 15 C to 20 C for 18 hours. I'm curious, Horace. Is it your conjecture that the flow rate of 3,000 L/h simply can't be true... ...or is it your conjecture that no scientific value can be gleaned from the fact that the water temperature was only raised 5 C as it flowed past the Rossi reactor during the 18 hour test. You do realize that the 18 hour experiment was set up with the water flow rate significantly increased (from the previous experiment) in order to deliberately prevent the generation of steam. This was deliberately done in order to generate more accurate thermal measurements between the input and output. There had been legitimate issued raised when in the previous experiment the output temperature was measured close to 101 C - when actual dry steam had allegedly been produced. Increasing the flow rate in the subsequent longer duration experiment so that there would only be a five degree temperature differential between input to output removed those concerns. While I can't personally vouch for this claim (because I've never had the need to use the actual algebra to work out the heat values) it is my understanding that everyone who DOES understand calometry immediately understood how much thermal energy must have been present in order to raise the water temperature a mere five degrees as it flowed passed Rossi's reactor. Apparently, a lot. Everyone except apparently you. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
