The ideal fuel/air mixture or ratio for most internal combustion gasoline engines is 14.7 to 1. Meaning 14.7 parts air to one part gasoline. Any ratio below this is considered a rich mixture or too much fuel. Any ratio above this is considered a lean mixture or too much air.
A leaner fuel mixture burns hotter than a rich mixture. so a leaner mixture will be more prone to detonation than a richer mixture.
No. The stochiometric ratio is a matter of fuel/air mixture... coolant has nothing to do with it. If you're running rich, you don't have enough air going into that mixture. Perhaps your air filter is past due for a change.
A rich condition.
14.7 to 1 is the sweet spot.
the air to fuel ratio mixture needs to be adjusted its running too rich.
Mixture strength in combustion refers to the ratio of fuel to air present in the air-fuel mixture. It can impact the efficiency and performance of the combustion process, with a stoichiometric mixture (ideal ratio of fuel to air) typically providing optimal results. Adjusting the mixture strength can affect factors like power output, emissions, and fuel economy in combustion engines.
Yes
install a cold air intake. more air with same amount of fuel being injected will lean out the fuel/air mixture. plus you'll get more power
Stoichiometric refers to the precise proportions in which substances react or combine in a chemical reaction to form products. It is based on the ideal ratio of reactants to produce the maximum amount of products without any excess or unreacted reactants.
Too rich or too lean of a mixture, and both will be affected negatively. Unleaded gasoline/petrol is especially specific with the stochiometric ratio it requires for ideal combustion.
Increasing the ratio of air to fuel (known as a 'lean' mixture) will result in hotter combustion gases and less power. However the exhaust will contain less Carbon Monoxide. Increasing the amount of fuel (a 'rich' mixture') will result in cooler cobustion gases, more power, but overall it is less-fuel efficient. It also produces many more gases such as Carbon Monoxide, due to incomplete combustion of the fuel.
