How to Calculate the Stoichiometric Air-fuel Ratio

The stoichiometric air-fuel ratio is an important parameter of fuels. When designing an engine for a particular fuel, it's important to know how much air is needed to completely burn a certain amount of fuel. This article describes this ratio and presents an easy way to calculate it when the composition of a fuel is known. How air-fuel ratio can be diagnosed and monitored with the help of air-fuel gauges.
