Thanks - yes - always an interesting issue (and a good one to beat people over the head with when they start blathering about the intermittency of wind power and the like).
A few years back everybody knew that towing a caravan with a Ford 351 required a bigger radiator. Ditto coalfired power stations except that if evaporation is not allowed (ie closed loop) huge air fans and thin cooling pipes would sap the net output. My reference 'Heat Transfer' Ozisik chapter 11. I'm not an engineer but I buy books priced at $7 at clearing sales.
