Automotive Combution, energy and pressure relation

[Byonnem]

Hello guys,

I'm currently working on a car simulation just for fun, but I'm stuck...

The force to move a car is generated by burning fuel ( to be more percise, diesel or gasolin).
But there are more variables:
Pressure (i know this because of turbos and such)
amount of fuel
amount of air (or O2)
temperature

is there a formula to calculate the force created, or released energy?
If there is, can you calculate the temperature of the engine too?

Thanks for reading and I hope you can answer some of my questions :)

Your question is very interesting! And there are many was to come apon a solution. first what is the normal temperature of the engine when it is idel (i english good) next, fint the increase in tempurature, this means taking temp of engine and making a inequality based on increase in fuel subtracted by the amount of h2o present in the engine.

i can't really follow you.
Let's taka a theoretical 100 degree Celcius is the idle temperature.

I just realize my whole idea of how the engine works is wrong, the amount of fuel isn't fixed (like i thought) it's controlled by the boardcomputer. I'll have to find that out too.. The airflow is regulated by the Gaspadel (correct me if I'm wrong). If this all is true than I have to many variabels and not enough data to do any calculations..

but remember that some operations do cancel each other our, so start with the minimum amount of fuel as related to temp
