 Heat transfer equation Q =W*DeltaT*Cp, with W = mass flow down by 30%.  So to get rid of the same Q of heat (and since Cp doesn't change that much)  it would appear that means the delta T term would need to increase by 30% for Q quantity to remain the same.  But, I don't know exactly how a 79Deg colder incoming air would affect the Delta T term.

 BIll??

Wouldn't the percentage change in DeltaT (DeltaDeltaT?) have to be measured from absolute 0?  An 80degree change would then represent...what?... about 20%?
