Question

What is the connection between the air fuel ratio and an engine running rich/poor? please give clear examples and full sentances.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Air fuel ratio:

 Air fuel ratio is the ratio of mass of air to the mass of fuel.So we can say that

$Air\ fuel\ ratio=\dfrac{mass\ of\ air}{mass\ of\ fuel}$

As we know that fuel burn in the presence of air that is why we have to maintain a proper amount of air fuel ratio.

When we need more power then we have supply more fuel and to burn this fuel ,require a specified amount of air.So for different loading condition of engine different air fuel ratio is required.

When air is less and fuel is more then it is called rich air fuel ratio .when air is more and fuel is less then it is called poor air fuel ratio.
