In this experiment three of the system variables, water temperature, air temperature, and air flow, were changed and compared to a base trial, Trial 1. The variable that effected the system the greatest was temperature. The data collected from this experiment indicates that the most efficient cooling occurs when there is a larger difference between the water and air inlet temperatures. Trial 1, heated water with unrestricted air flow at room temperature, had the largest change in temperature of the water at 2.8⁰C. Additionally, this trial had the best closure of the energy balance by approximately 15%. Trial 3, which had heated air and water with unrestricted air flow, had the worst closure of all of the trials, and the second worst temperature
