Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method of determining the stoichiometric oxidation ratio for a fuel is described, the method comprising the steps of: providing a reactor for conducting the oxidation of the fuel with oxygen (or air); supplying oxygen (or air) to the reactor; supplying the fuel to the reactor; maintaining the flow rate of one of the fuel and oxygen (or air) to the reactor constant; varying the flow rate of the other of the fuel and oxygen (or air) to the reactor, in order to vary the molar ratio of the fuel and oxygen (or air) being reacted; measuring the temperature of the oxidation reaction or the oxygen (or air) concentration at the outlet of the combustion cavity over a range of molar ratios; and determining the stoichiometric oxidation ratio from the peak temperature or the oxygen (or air) concentration at the outlet of the combustion cavity. A MEMS apparatus suitable for determining the stoichiometric molar ratio of oxygen / fuel is also disclosed.
