How do scientists figure out things like the effect of adding fuel to fire? Can they measure ahead of time like 1 cup of gas = 5 mins of burn time at 500°?

In this particular case, it’s basically just accounting work. Glossing over the chemistry part of it; fuel has a certain energy content, so if you have a desired rate of energy you want out of the reaction, then you know how fast you have to add fuel, and if you know how much fuel you start with you can figure out how long you can operate.
Beyond that it’s just accounting for inefficiencies and predicting the products.
