It is apparent that the model is not accurate. For one issue, the thermal insulation surrounding the entire heat exchanger is not modeled. Also, if the results do not match the real world, then which should we believe? It is the burden of the modeler to demonstrate that his model represents the actual process and not the other way around.
I have mentioned several reasons why the results do not match expectations. How do you explain the excess power being delivered according to the thermocouple readings when just one core is installed? This is not probable and we should not be confused by assuming that one core is capable of generating 10 kW. This is more of Rossi's game as usual.
