Hello again, First of all, you keep referring back to a computer controlled, electronic fuel injected engine, and I am working on a 1978 Camaro with a 350 cu. in. V8 and a carburetor. You are trying to compare Apples and Oranges, and the data that you supply reflects such. Also, I am not writing...

Good Morning Mech_Engineer, Yes, I have considered this. I am monitoring 6 aspects of the running engine: 1) Monitoring the real time Air/Fuel Ratio through a wideband Air/Fuel Ratio gauge, to keep it within the stoichiometric range 2) Monitoring the temperature of the Air/Fuel mixture flow...

Hello Again Mech_Engineer, Thanks for your response, though I do not agree with you. As pointed out previously in this topic, Liquid Gasoline doesn't burn, only Gasoline Vapor Burns in a Gasoline powered internal combustion engine. The inefficiency lies in the gasoline that does not become...

Hello again Mech_Engineer, Thank you for taking the time to talk to me, appreciated. Just to let you know what I am doing, I am in the process of building a Gasoline Vapor System for an automobile, (1978 Chevy Camaro, 350 cu.in. SBC, automatic), I am on my 9th prototype and I am getting very...

The "EXHAUST LOSS" is the point. The majority of the un-burnt fuel is expelled through the "EXHAUST" port as the piston moves upward on the exhaust stroke, it expels the un-burnt fuel, along with the exhaust gasses from the burning/expansion process. Also, some of the un-burnt fuel mixed with...

Yes, I do, Mech_Engineer. Here are a few: http://www.consumerenergycenter.org/transportation/consumer_tips/vehicle_energy_losses.html https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/atv.shtml http://ffden-2.phys.uaf.edu/102spring2002_web_projects/z.yates/zach's%20web%20project%20folder/eice%20-%20main.htm...

Yes, but the fact remains that a portion of gasoline does go unburned in modern gasoline internal combustion engines, despite the computerized controls, and any unburned hydrocarbons are then re-burned a second time by the catalytic converter to support cleaner exhaust emissions. This represents...

Referring to this article, the lean situation in pre-vaporized gasoline probably occurs, because of a perfect stoichiometric ratio prior to the air/fuel mixture entering into the intake manifold of the engine. In a normal carbureted or fuel injected engine, their could be an engineered imbalance...

Will do. Thanks, Mike

Atomization of a liquid means that liquid is segmented into tiny droplets, but it is still in liquid form. You are correct in your statement that liquid gasoline doesn't burn. Only that small percentage of the atomized gasoline that comes into contact with the heated surfaces of the top of the...

Thank you for responding.The gasoline is heated and turned from a liquid into a fully gaseous state. The commonly accepted stoichiometric atmospheric air to atomized liquid gasoline ratio is 14.7 to 1. Typically, converting liquid gasoline to a gaseous state leans out the air fuel mixture in an...

Hello, Can someone tell me the optimum stoichiometric air/fuel ratio of gasoline VAPOR? I know that with liquid gasoline the optimum stoichiometric air/fuel ratio is 14.7 parts ambient air to 1 part gasoline. Thank you in advance for your help.
