[QUOTE="Araon, post: 27843, member: 606"] Yes but it takes more energy to get it to that temp! In general your engine produces the energy that is transfered into heat for a larger mass of metal thereby it is on the whole cooler than the thiner material, your barrels are covered in fins to provide a greater surface area to cool (think elepants ears here), the thinner metal gets hot quicker, but your engine is continuosly pumping out all that heat at a reasonably constant rate (not accounting for hills etc..) the fins un aided can only dissipate so much. If you try your heat experiment you will see how much hotter a thin sheet will get with a given source over a thick lump with the same source [/QUOTE]
