✈️ The Perfect Blend: Fuel-Air Mixer Ratio in Aviation ✈️ The ideal fuel-air ratio for most aviation engines is around 14.7:1—14.7 parts air to 1 part fuel. This stoichiometric ratio ensures complete combustion, maximizing power and efficiency while minimizing emissions. Deviating from this ratio can lead to performance issues, so maintaining it is crucial! #AviationFacts #EnginePerformance #OptimalMix #Stoichiometry #avelflightschool #chennaiflightschool

In 1774, Antoine Lavoisier established the conservation of mass as the keystone of chemical analysis. #Poetry #Science #History #Chemistry #Stoichiometry #Lavoisier (https://sharpgiving.com/thebookofscience/items/p1774b.html)

We can grow algae. Right media, right lights, right temperature and presto!
