What is fuel air ratio?

Air to fuel ratio is the ratio between the weight of air to the weight of fuel, for example: 14.7 pounds of air to 1 pound of fuel would be a air:fuel ratio of 14.7:1 This particular example is called the stoichiometric ratio for gasoline...it's ideal ratio in order to efficiently use all the fuel. This ratio varies for different fuels....for example, ethanol fuels have a stoichiometric air:fuel ratio of 13.85:1. In actuality, a gasoline car gets it's best fuel mileage when the fuel is reduced slightly and produces it's best power when the ratio is a little heavier on the fuel side.


Why is dynamic compression ratio so important to engine durability?

Dynamic compression ratio is important to engine durability by ensuring its compatibility with a specific cam and octane. A higher ratio means the engine derives optimal mechanical energy from an air-fuel mixture.

What happens to your car if you switch from regular to plus?

If your car runs well on regular fuel then you will see no change with plus fuel except it will cost you more. If you have problems with pre-ignition or "pinging" the plus fuel with it's higher octane rating will reduce or eliminate the pinging.


What causes a jet engine to ignite?

A Jet engine contains a series of turbines that accelerate the air that enters the engine. As the air is accelerated it is compressed to a higher density at which point the fuel is able to begin combustion at ambient temperatures. As the engine warms it becomes more efficient as the fuel is pee heated and the compressor is able to spool faster. At higher altitudes the engine becomes more efficient as the initial air density is lowered causing less resistance on the turbines to accelerate the air, thus allowing a higher spool rate with less fuel. Jet engines are very inefficient at sea level when compared to their efficiency at cruising altitudes.

What happens if you put e85 gasoline in a regular gasoline engine?

It will ruin the engine. Ethanol is a much harsher fuel than gasoline and also requires a higher compression ratio to burn efficiently.


Higher compression ratio needs a better fuel?

The higher the compression ratios produce more power. The more fuel is compressed, the more likely it is to spontaneously burst into flame.

Is it worth it to use more than 85 octane fuel?

Check your owners manual for fuel recommendations. Unless the engine has a high compression ratio, it will not benefit from higher octane fuel.

How do you improve rear axle ratio?

improve as in go quicker or higher speed? for a lower gear ratio to go better up hills go to a lower gear ratio like 4 to 1. For a faster highway speed and better fuel milage go to a higher ratio like 2.7 to 1. The gears in both axles, front and rear must be changed to improve the ratio.


What is the meaning of vaporisation relation to carburation?

Vaporisation is caused by excessive heat. What happens is that the fuel either in the carburettor or the fuel line gets so hot that the fuel (liquid) evaporates and becomes gas (not liquid).
