[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2071895, member: 4191"] Do I have any obligation? You're asking someone to invest countless hours to generate an incredibly complex algorithum (mathematical model) to satisfy your personal curiousity. Research the Thermal Conductivity Coefficient for the carbon fiber wrap media the barrel manufacturer is using, and compare it to the Thermal Conductivity Coefficient for steel barrels. The generic, one-size-fits-all answer to your curiousity is, "The barrel material with the higher Thermal Conductivity Coefficient will transfer heat at the higher rate. Which is the same as saying, it will cool down (shed heat) at a faster rate. Your problem will be, no carbon barrel manufacturer employee will provide the value for their CFW, unless that employee wants fired. Because that value will burst the perpetual propaganda bubble. If you wanna spend your time and money satisfying a curiousity, I'd suggest purchasing equipment that will reliably measure the temperature of the bore in your CFW and a 100% steel barrel of identical size. Shoot the exact same cartridge and ammunition in each of the two identically shaped barrels, at the same rate of fire, under the same outdoor temperatures, at the same location and time, with no wind, and both barrels either in broad sunlight, or under shade. Place the temperature sensor in the bore immediately after firing a string of rounds down both barrels. The temperature sensor will need to be placed identically in both bores, and never be moved as the temperatures are being collected. It would be ideal if the temperature sensor wasn't in direct contact with the steel bore, but was held centered in the bore with an air gap circumferally surrounding the sensor. Monitor and record the bore temperatures versus time. Keep everything as apples to apples as possible, meaning control all temperature affecting influences. Measure and compare bore temperatures over time and voila, you will have demonstrated with empirical temperature data collected over time, which barrel cooled down quicker (transfered heat out from the bore at the faster rate). It would be ideal to have two temperature sensors recording the rate of bore cool down in both barrels at the same time. And then perform a second test swapping the temperature sensing equipment between barrels and documenting the same result. In other words, strive for a well controlled test, in the effort to yield the most equally comparable and defendable temperature data. [/QUOTE]
