Well, two different methods give approximately the same answer is better than zero methods that you can cite. > Rossi is using a herringbone liquid counterflow heat exchanger.

Wasn't it 95% efficient? So 5% escapes. Most of it radiates from the insulation. No doubt some of it conducts along the pipe and reaches the thermocouple. Not much though. - Jed
