How is the temperature after heat release due to catalyst coking in a reforming unit’s regenerated catalyst calculated?

I would like to ask fellow sailors: how is the temperature after heat release due to catalyst coking in a reforming unit calculated? Is there a formula that can be applied?
First, let me share my humble opinions; please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. The volume of the regenerator charring zone multiplied by the density of the catalyst gives the mass of catalyst in the regenerator charring zone ； The carbon content in the catalyst can be measured by sampling, and the heat released when carbon is converted into carbon dioxide can be found in tables. The heat loss during the coking process is approximately 2%, so it is possible to calculate the amount of heat released when the catalyst in the coking zone of the regenerator burns completely to form carbon dioxide. Then, apply the formula: heat = mass * specific heat capacity * change in temperature, that is, Q = CM(t2 – t1), to calculate the temperature. Is that how it’s calculated? Q----Heat energy M----Specific heat capacity of the object (found in a table) t2---Final temperature of the object t1---Initial temperature of the object
Basically, this method is the one that’s being used
