    Automotive Air fuel ratio effects in diesel vs. petrol engines

    Baluncores's reaction might be the answer I was looking for. It sounds like something that would make sense, I was looking where the extra heat came from. I imagine the charts would look somewhat different with different engines in different conditions. Certainly with diesel's if they have...

    Automotive Air fuel ratio effects in diesel vs. petrol engines

    Yes, I did indeed mean lower combustion temperature which is different. My bad for using the wrong words. This is the info I was looking for, thank you very much! Interesting graph's as well.

    Automotive Air fuel ratio effects in diesel vs. petrol engines

    Thank you for your answer. Yes it's more of theoretical question then a real-world one, the amount of soot and NOx would be totally unrunable. And there isn't really a reason why you would want to go even leaner in a petrol engine either.

    What brings you to our scientific community?

    Hey guys/girls, I've ended up on this forum quite a few times through google. I've seen some interesting topics so I decided it was finally time to make a account. I'm 23 years old from the Netherlands, my main focus is on automotive and computer science. :angel:

    Automotive Air fuel ratio effects in diesel vs. petrol engines

    I'm a mechanic who is currently doing a study automotive engineering. Being someone who worked on both diesel and petrol cars I know what a higher or lower air fuel ratio (AFR) will do for both engines. However I don't fully understand how the following is possible. "Adding fuel in a diesel...
