Note that this denition differs slightly from the one
commonly used in industry where the stoichiometry is
usually dened as the total oxidizer ow divided by the
fuel ow. The problem with the denition commonly used
in industry is that the stoichiometry must be recalculated
whenever the oxidizer composition changes and stoichio-
metric conditions change for ea
