Fuel-to-Air Ratio Calculator

The Reciprocal Convention for Mixture Ratio

Fuel-to-air ratio expresses the same mixture information as AFR, just inverted — fuel mass per unit of air mass rather than air per unit of fuel. Some combustion models and emissions calculations prefer this convention.

The Formula

FAR = Mass of Fuel / Mass of Air

Worked Example

15 kg of fuel supplied with 220 kg of air:

FAR = 15 / 220 = 0.0682

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the Mass of Fuel supplied.
  2. Enter the Mass of Air supplied.
  3. Select Calculate to get the FAR.
