2- Air-Fuel Mixture
For proper combustion and engine performance, the correct amounts of air
and fuel must be mixed
Stoichiometric fuel mixture is a chemically correct air-fuel mixture
For gasoline, it is 14.7:1
14.7 parts of air to 1 part fuel, by weight
Under constant operating conditions, this mixture helps ensure that all the fuel
burns during combustion
5- Abnormal Combustion
Occurs when the flame does not spread evenly and smoothly through the
combustion chamber
Common types of abnormal combustion:
detonation
preignition
spark knock
