Thanks for comments, Mark

    Actually, I had posted another version to the list several years ago,
but that version did not have any cooling stuff.  I feel quite confident
about the HP/ Fuel Flow and BTU stuff.  However, I know the cooling stuff
needs more work and I probably need a bit of help on that end of it. But,
then it is simply a mathematical model and there is LOTS of real real stuff
it does not take into account.

However, as I said I have been pleasantly surprised at how close it seems to
track with actual experience - perhaps something to be said for simple {:>)
With the data that we are nowgetting, I should be able to fine tune the
cooling side a bit more.
