Chemical Energetics and Stoichiometry
The energy content of a fuel is quantified by its calorific value, usually expressed in megajoules per kilogram ($\text{MJ}/\text{kg}$) or British thermal units per pound ($\text{BTU}/\text{lb}$). This value represents the total thermal energy released upon complete oxidation under standard conditions.
In combustion, the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio ($\text{AFR}_{\text{stoic}}$) de…
