Henk Houkes sent me a brief analysis and spreadsheet with a first order
calculation of the effects of the steam pipe on the outlet thermocouple
in Rossi's October 6 test. He estimates that the steam pipe contributes
0.1°C to the temperature registered by the thermocouple. He explains:
"The heat has to travel axially some 12 mm through a thin threaded pipe,
while radially that heat is effectively sucked away by the output water,
flowing less than 2 mm below it."
This is a large & elaborate spreadsheet, with photographs and schematics
in it, so it is too big to upload here. Perhaps I should upload it to
LENR-CANR.org.
By the way, to see the photographs and schematics you have to click on
the tabs at the bottom labeled: "calc, model, picture, pipe dimensions"
