This fluid design runs 9 secs on and 5 secs off with an initial heat of 6600. I didn't share it in the forum because it is worse compared to the second one.
In this design, 16 OC vents are used and they are the only component that can pull heat. Since the rod is surrounded by reflectors, the total vent cooling should be 16 * 36=576 instead of 592 shown in the planner. Also, 9 * 896=(9+5) * 576, which confirms that it vent 576 heat. I tested it in-game with 9/5 cycle and it runs perfectly.
Another (more complex) example:

runs 5 sec on and 2 sec off with an initial heat of 6600
In this design, total vent cooling should be 4 * 5+17 * 36+8=640, instead of 649. 5 * 896=(5+2) * 640, confirming my calculations again.
This affects a lot on designing MOX fluid reactors since I have to manually calculate all the venting by myself. It seems that the reactor stability part shown in the planner isn't affected by this.
A question: Why does these two designs have different efficiency despite having the same fuel rods?
