Engineering:Stoichiometric point
From HandWiki
The stoichiometric point is the air to fuel ratio in a combustion engine. The stoichiometric air-fuel ratio for petrol (gasoline) is 14.7 to 1 by weight.
Related concepts include:
- Air fuel ratio
- Stoichiometry
- E85 in standard engines
- Lean burn
- Combustion
- Gasoline direct injection (which can use ultra lean modes - many times the stoichiometirc ratio)
- Catalytic converters (which are at peak efficient when the engine runs slightly above the stoichiometirc point)
