How do you calculate how a rad performs based on the data?

I.e I have one of bills nice graphs how do I use it to tell me how a rad performs for a set of conditions (heat dump, air temp etc)

I am prepping this into a spreadsheet (can all ready calculate root performance to beyond excels accuracy) but want to know how the WC community does it. I will probably implement the science way of doing things (efficiency - NTU, which have the advantage that you get do a lot of calc of relatively crappy data) but if there is another way I’ll do that.
