I agree, must have got it from someplace credible - like Bill Shertz.
CP was 1.0 for pure H20 and somewhat less with antifreeze mixed in.
I had a primary pully from MazdaTrix that reduced water pump speed - since engine was turning faster than normal in automobile, did not want to have any cavitation.  So my water pump did turn a bit slower than stock.
Not necessarily - note that water flow drops off if pump speed increases into the "caviation range"

Thanks Ed.

But 185.85 seems pretty detailed for a SWAG.
Any chance you got it from Bill Shertz's tests (which I unfortunately can't find the posts about)?

What determines "Cp Coolant"?
Heat transfer efficiency from engine to water and water to rad?

From measuring the rims of the e-shaft pulley (122mm) and water pump pulley (112mm) it looks like the Renesis water pump runs a bit slower (factor 1.09 compared to your 1.18).

Should water flow be directly proportional to water pump RPM?

Sorry, Finn.

Too much water under the bridge, pretty sure I did not make it up out of thin air.  I suspect I  visited some pump websites to arrive at a SWAG.

Hi Ed,
 
From where did you get the 13B coolant flow numbers (Pump Factor)?
 
I want to be certain that I have adequate coolant flow.
