We did that and about the best we can calculate is the temp drop across the radiator. I am hoping to find hot spots in the cooling system. The block is basically the same temp all around, and the heads are way hotter than the coolant ever gets. Ideally I would put the sensors along the hose that runs from the block to the front (radiator) and back again.
Another idea was to try and measure the liquid flow through the system. I am thinking a flow meter would create too much of a restriction. And if I was really creative, I would put pressure sensors in various spot in the front trunk to make sure we are venting the radiator air properly through the wheel wells.
