Air-petrol ratio for maximum power generation in spark ignition engine is about_____________________?

Correct answer: B. 12 : 1

  • A. 6 : 1
  • B. 12 : 1
  • C. 18 : 1
  • D. 24 : 1

Explanation

A spark-ignition engine develops maximum power with a fuel-rich mixture, commonly at an air-fuel ratio near 12:1. The stoichiometric petrol ratio is about 14.7:1, while 18:1 and 24:1 are too lean for maximum power.
