100+ pages that will [if understood] bring you near the level of many young factory engineers.

"The flow sfraightening effect of heat exchangers was shown not to significantly affect fan performance.The Ram Recovery Coefficient also led to a development of the understanding of multiple grill openings, above and below thebumper."

The nice thing is the Ford Taurus was used which like the Q45 has no grill opening above the bumper!

Why would you think Ford cooling system needed improvement? I can assure you Ford had more engineers devoted to US cooling systems than Nissan did during the 1990' s .

The point of posting was so members could study and understand the MATH which applies to every vehicle.
