R_a = m_a/m_f
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Actual Air Fuel Ratio - Actual air fuel ratio is the actual mass of air mixed with actual mass of fuel that is present during combustion inside IC engine. It is a crucial parameter for good fuel economy in IC engines.
Mass of Air - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass of Air refers to the total quantity of air inducted into the engine cylinders during the intake stroke in a specified time frame.
Mass of Fuel - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass of Fuel refers to the total quantity of combustible material (Fuel) entering the engine cylinder in a specified time frame.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mass of Air: 23.9904 Kilogram --> 23.9904 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Mass of Fuel: 1.5 Kilogram --> 1.5 Kilogram No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

R_a = m_a/m_f --> 23.9904/1.5

Evaluating ... ...

What Rich and Lean mixture signifies in Internal Combustion Engine?

1. Rich Mixture (AFR < 14.7:1): This signifies that there is more fuel than the ideal stoichiometric ratio of 14.7 parts air to 1 part fuel. It can lead to incomplete combustion, which increases emissions and decreases fuel efficiency. However, it can also potentially provide more power output, especially in high-performance engines, due to the excess fuel available for combustion.
2. Lean Mixture (AFR > 14.7:1): This indicates that there is more air than the ideal stoichiometric ratio of 14.7 parts air to 1 part fuel. A lean mixture typically results in better fuel efficiency and lower emissions due to more complete combustion. However, it may potentially lead to less power output because there is less fuel available for combustion.

How to Calculate Actual Air Fuel Ratio?
