petrol volume 1

[malbeare]

Dear fellow members a beare of little brain is having trouble.
How many cc of petrol does it take to make a 14.7 to 1 ratio if we assume we have 100% VE in a 500cc cylinder ?

A tidy mind not intelligent as it ignors the random opportunities of total chaos. Thats my excuse anyway

14.7 is the mass ratio. density of air is 1.22, density of fuel is 750, so the 14.7 kg of air would occupy 12.05 m^3, and 1 kg of fuel would be .001333 m^3

so the volume ratio is 0.00011, and so 500cc of air would need 0.055 cc of fuel.

...or something like that

Cheers
