The influence of oxygen is important because of growing interest in applying oxygen enrichment to natural gas-fired industrial furnaces. The advantage of adding oxygen to the air or fuel stream, while keeping the air-to-fuel ratio constant, is increased heat flux - this results in more efficient combustion design. Oxygen enrichment for the intake air of internal combustion engines has also been considered, as a measure to control exhaust pollutants, especially particulate emissions, from diesel engines. 2, record 1, English, - air%2Dfuel%20ratio

L'influence de l'oxygène est importante, à cause de l'intérêt de plus en plus grand porté à l'application de l'enrichissement en oxygène aux fournaises industrielles qui fonctionnent au gaz naturel. L'avantage d'ajouter de l'oxygène à l'air ou au jet de combustible se traduit par une augmentation du flux de chaleur, tout en gardant constant le rapport air/combustible, ce qui produit des systèmes de combustion plus efficaces. L'enrichissement à l'oxygène dans l'admission d'air des moteurs à combustion interne, a aussi été considéré comme mesure possible pour limiter les polluants dans les gaz d'échappement des moteurs diésels, plus particulièrement les émissions particulaires. 2, record 1, French, - rapport%20du%20m%C3%A9lange%20air%2Dcarburant

the ratio of air supply flow rate to the fuel supply flow rate, measured in the same units under the same conditions. The optimum air-fuel ratio is the minimum ratio that will provide complete combustion of the fuel with enough excess air to maintain a stable flame envelope. 1, record 2, English, - air%2Dfuel%20ratio
