Mixuno would see a temperature differential as you say, however what fraction of energy introduced by the reaction is above the input energy of the electrical pump and or other electrical inputs? To get a COP you need the steady state in-put energy to determine this.
Thus, the problem becomes one of determining the relationship between between energy and the system temperature relative to ambient at a steady state condition. If the reaction energy is introduced totally as heat, the determination should be pretty good assuming the calibration of the pumps input energy is well known. That calibration is the question that is being debated I believe. In Mizuno's test I believe the differential pressure that the pump put out did not change much; hence, the energy used should follow the specification for the pump in the pump head curve accurately. However, if the reaction caused a significant change in the differential pressure and, hence, the flow, such information would be necessary to accurately extrapolate the total energy, pump plus reaction to temperatures above that produced by the pump alone. I agree with Dave's analysis of the energy related to the flow changes in the system. However, they would only represent a portion of the pumps energy output--frictional losses in the piping, pressure drops at nozzles etc, and heat losses from the pump must also be added to confirm the pump head curve vs power is accurate. It seems that the Mizuno team should have accomplished such an "in-house" calibration to confirm the vendor's specs. While they were at calibration, I would have used a known dummy electrical heater to determine the temperature/energy input curve.
