The apparent heat would be zero. The inlet is no farther from the reaction site then the outlet probe, as you see in the photo. So, if the two temperature probes had been inside the black box, they would have registered the same temperature. The Delta T would be zero (no heat). Also, the inlet temperature would have been higher than tap water. Since the inlet registers tap water temperature, and the Delta T is greater than zero, they must both be far enough away from the reactor to measure a real temperature difference. If both probes are somewhat inside the box, closer than they should be, this will make the Delta T smaller than it really is. If the inlet was outside of the box and outlet inside it, that would cause observers to overestimate heat. - Jed
