Water inflow rate was calibrated and it was 13 kg/h. However, as in
September, when water starts boiling and pressure is generated, it will
reduce the flow rate, like it did in September. Therefore we can assume that
water inflow rate was something like 10 kg/h.
As was mentioned several times before, indeed steam mass flow when measured
(0.9 g/s and 1.9 g/s) corresponds to current output of E-Cat. Therefore when
measurements were made, E-Cat was not overflowing.
Because E-Cat was not overflowing, this method could have been used for
checking the calibration of heat exchanger, but this opportunity was missed
by the observers.

> The answer is been staring at us the whole time. I have been thinking of
the Rossi reactor as something like a US water heater where inflow must
always equal outflow, because a reservoir is always full. I have been
thinking that if the inflow is a steady 0.9 mL/s, the outflow has to be the
same. But there is a reservoir that can hold different amounts, unlike a
water heater.
> Lewan measured the outflow at 18:57. It was 0.91 g/s. That indicates
output power of around 2 kW. Looking at the "power in the vs power
out" graph, at 18:57 indicated power was 2.5 kW. Close enough!

> Earlier, at 16:51, indicated power was 8 kW. If Lewan had measured the
outflow at that time he would have found it much faster, 3.5 g/s. We have no
idea what average inflow was during this test. It was probably steady the
whole time. Probably, at 16:51 when the power was high, the water level in
the reservoir was falling, and at 18:54 the water level was rising.
