The air-fuel ratio (AFR) in aircraft design and combustion systems represents the ratio of the mass of air to the mass of fuel used in the combustion process. This ratio is crucial for achieving efficient and controlled combustion.
The AFR is typically represented as:
- Air-Fuel Ratio (AFR) is a dimensionless quantity.
- Mass of Air is the mass of the air entering the combustion chamber or engine.
- Mass of Fuel is the mass of the fuel being injected into the combustion chamber or engine.
