Hey pgfpro...long time no hear! So glad to see your still progressing with the creative thinking and research. Upon quick review, that looks like a very viable method and your are correct with your temps, although dependent on some other environmental and substance attribute/chemical variables.

I've come up with about the same temperature scaling and my Arduino processors help maintain that delta via some valves that have to move constantly to try and help maintain that. Along with other areas in the environment to help manage temperatures and loss or gain of heat. That is all part of controlling loss of energy within the combusting processes. The thermal couplers helped determine what the real values to be under operating procedures. I've about narrowed in on all of that. Maintaining some form of absolute control is very difficult, or can be do to the multitude of variables from external and internal environmental changes.

After a second look at your flow chart... once you build in values its the start of a good control algorithm. Also keep in mind material absorption rates just like we have in our EFI programing for wall adhesion, with higher heat it is exponential fyi.
