Fuel mass fraction

In combustion physics, fuel mass fraction is the ratio of fuel mass flow to the total mass flow of a fuel mixture.

If an air flow is fuel free, the fuel mass fraction is zero; in pure fuel without trapped gases, the ratio is unity.

[1] As fuel is burned in a combustion process, the fuel mass fraction is reduced.
