 calculate how much amount of air is needed to burn the fuel .

Let's take Petrol… its range is 14.7 : 1 ratio for combustion .

Which means for Petrol 14.7 gram of air required for burning 1 gram of fuel . For complete combustion it varies according to the efficiency of fuel , economically in-complete combustion. So it differs from fuel to fuel varies ratios according to the fuel density .

Intake pressure /temperature/ Fuel …. considering all aspects.

Just simple method.

Hey there, here's your answer buddy

  • 1 mole of Carbon combines with 1 mole of molecular oxygen to form carbon dioxide.
  • 1 mole of carbon weighs 12 grams. Hence 36 grams indicates there are 3 moles of carbon. One mole of molecular oxygen weighs 32 grams and its volume should be 22.4 liters at STP. Hence we require 3 moles of molecular oxygen to burn completely with 3 moles of carbon.
  • Hence we require about 22.4 x 3 = 67.2 liters of molecular oxygen.
