ΔT BELOW SAFE THRESHOLD — INCREASE DELTA OR REDUCE LOAD
Derivation
The flow rate is derived from the fundamental heat transfer equation:
ṁ = Q / (cₚ × ΔT)
where ṁ is mass flow rate, Q is thermal load, cₚ is specific heat capacity, ΔT is temperature differential.
For a 50/50 ethylene glycol mixture at operating temperature, cₚ ≈ 3.3 kJ/(kg·K). Density ρ ≈ 1.05 kg/L.
