Seems like the ∆p should be proportional to the ∆T. I am not arguing, just looking for clarification.

Am hoping for some analysis as to why there might be 70% reduction in total temperature with only a 24% increase in compression pressure. Does that mean your engine gets 51% more efficient?

Perhaps your thermocouple is a bit skewed? Wouldn't the numbers go from say 1000°F to 650°F?
