Can someone explain to me what precisely the heat flux and heat capacity numbers mean on steam engine. Or point me in the direction of an in depth article about those values.
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
I need a physicist or possibly a chemist. Or an electrician!

Heat flux in mW/mm² (miliwatts per square millimeter) is the amount of of watts per surface area of your coil wire. Get that too high and the coil will burn juice. Too low and the coil will not vaporize much juice per second.
Heat capacity is the amount of heat (energy, not temperature) required to raise the temperature of your coil mass a certain amount. The higher that number is at the same power level, the longer it will take to get the coil to operating temperature.
Hope this helps
