it's possibly possible if under certain conditions the turbulence from
the increased flow louses up the heat transfer by causing localized
eddy currents or some such, but pretty unlikely. the often heard
argument that 'the coolant is going too fast to pick up the heat from
the metal' demonstrates the profound failure of our school system to
teach simple principles of basic physics.
