Combustion — This article is about the process of burning. For combustion without external ignition, see spontaneous combustion. For the engine used in mobile propulsion, see internal combustion engine. For the visible part of a fire, see flame. Burning… … Wikipedia
Lean burn — refers to the use of lean mixtures in an internal combustion engine. The air fuel ratios can be as high as 65:1, so the mixture has considerably less fuel in comparison to the stoichiometric combustion ratio (14.7:1 for petrol for example).… … Wikipedia

lean blowout — A condition in gas turbine engine fuel combustion during which the fuel supply is decreased to maintain or reduce engine RPM. In the process, the burning may be so slow that the flame is carried out of the combustion chamber and extinguished … Aviation dictionary
lean flameout — A condition in a gas turbine engine in which the flame goes out, because the fuel air mixture is too thin to support combustion … Aviation dictionary
Air-fuel ratio — (AFR) is the mass ratio of air to fuel present during combustion. When all the fuel is combined with all the free oxygen, typically within a vehicle s combustion chamber,the mixture is chemically balanced and this AFR is called the stoichiometric … Wikipedia
Air-fuel ratio meter — An air fuel ratio meter monitors the air fuel ratio of an internal combustion engine. Also called air fuel ratio gauge, air fuel meter, or air fuel gauge. It reads the voltage output of an oxygen sensor, sometimes also called lambda sensor,… … Wikipedia
