Of the 9 intake temps 8 were hotter on the nanofluid tests, but the deltaT across the radiator was lower on all the tests (if you average the three deltaTs for each test). You can crunch thru the numbers and get a good approximate coolant temp because the system will be in steady-state. If it wasn't it would either continue to get hotter or colder. And, the heat removed by the radiator is going to be close to the heat picked up by the coolant as it passes over all the components. Of course, you have residual losses thru the tubing etc, so it won't be exactly equal.

But, you are correct in that the coolant temps will tell a lot.
How many users here do you think will 'extrapolate' ?? LMFAO. Air temps are important, this is why I didn't mention them, if they were omitted I would have. Maybe this nanofluid has some physics warping abilities that can generate black holes and such, however we would never know this WITHOUT THE COOLANT TEMPS
