Chapter 4 - Combustion in <strong>Two</strong>-<strong>Stroke</strong> <strong>Engines</strong><br />

The concept <strong>of</strong> equivalence ratio, A, is useful in the solution <strong>of</strong> these equations <strong>and</strong> in<br />

engine technology generally. It is defined as:<br />

The combination <strong>of</strong> Eqs. 4.3.4, 4.3.9 <strong>and</strong> 4.3.10 reveals:<br />

Obviously, the equivalence ratio is unity at stoichiometry.<br />

Equivalence Ratio, A = ,A a t n\<br />

4.3.2.2 Rich mixture combustion<br />

In rich mixture combustion, the value <strong>of</strong> the equivalence ratio is less than unity:<br />
