Hi, i do a motorsport where a normal cooling system for the engine cannot be used as it gets damage so we use solid water tanks along the bulkhead of the car, these arent the greatest as they tend to get hot as they're not really a cooling system at all. My idea would be to make a water tank, with a copper element inside which feeds the engine, and have cool water around it inside the tank to cool it down.
To ensure this works I'm guessing i need to know how long it would take to get for example 2litres of water inside the core around 98°c to heat up 20 litres of water around the outside of the core which should start around 20°c.
I know there are a lot of other factors involved, but keeping it simple, does anyone have a simple head conduction equation i could use?
