Try starting off with Kelvin temperature. Celsius is just an arbitrary temperature set at the freezing point of distilled water at STP. You might also try a natural log or log 10 on the temperature and/or molecular weight. Also, it's the H-C bonds that provide the oxidation, not the C-C bonds. 4 H-C bonds for methane and 26 for tetradecane. Good luck because up to pentane, I believe, you have a gas and beyond that they're liquids at STP, I think. You may want to try dividing into two algorithms one for gases and one for liquids.
I'll give it some more thought tonight.
