Gas cools rapidly as it expands. That's all I know.

Assume standard combustion temperatures. Ignore engine operating temperature. I'm guessing that when it expands to the point that the pressure is equal to atmospheric, the temp will be around ambient.

Heck don't even put it in an engine. Have it in atmosphere for all I care.
