<VV> Flow/Pressure/Cooling

[Joel McGregor]

You're talking about a situation way outside of anything a Corvair cooling system would encounter so it doesn't have any relevance to the subject at hand.  Or are you claiming that we could force enough air through Corvair heads to produce more heat?   Or that the cooling air we are dealing with could reach the speed of sound?  I know I'm half deaf but I would imagine even I could hear that.
I would bet that "the dynamics and thermodynamics of supersonic and hypersonic fluid flow" don't apply at all to what we are talking about.

It is a basic law of closed channel fluid flow in fluid dynamics that
you cannot exceed the speed of sound in the closed channel.

Second answer when you try to force more fluid in a pipe than it can
flow, the the extra energy becomes heat.

All this leads to the reason "the dynamics and thermodynamics of
supersonic and hypersonic fluid flow" is a graduate level course in aero
engineering.
