(OP)
It is my belief that the temperature of cement powder has a direct correlation to the temp.of concrete.What should the ideal powder temp. be when it introduced into the concrete.

Since the aggregates form the bulk of the concrete its temperature also has a greater effect than that of the cement.
I also agree with Zambo that hot cement should not be the reason for lumps forming in the mix.

Cement plant is only 50+miles from main ready mix plant. It's infrequent, but hot loads happen,

The temp could be any units as long as it is used consistently throughout. We use metric only.
If you send me an e-mail address I will send you a simple spreadsheet to calculate the concrete temp based on the masses and temps of the constituent materials.
We have to use it all the time in the desert to ensure the concrete reach site at an acceptable temp. The calculated results and the actual delivered concrete are normally within 0.5 deg C.
