Chad, those are calculated numbers.  I think I found the problem with my use
of the model.
and yes, the basic formular I use for heat transfer is the one you cite in
your message.  What I was trying to find out was if I knew the mass flow and
the BTU requiring rejection into that mass flow, could I determine the
expected delta T.

As you say this is a complex phenomona and my simple model may just be too
simple
I am working on trying to factor in such things as the "thickenss" effect
both on delta T and air flow, etc.

Ed, are these calculated or measured numbers? If calculated, what's the
formula being used?
Here is what the temp rise model gives (all temps in farenheit):

OAT  Delta T   Exit Radiator

0            34.9        34.9

30            35.59    65.59

60        36.15        96.15

90        36.02        126.02

120        37.48        157.48
