re: richer gives more power with disregard to pollution & in piston engine planes you definately want to err on th rich side

Mixtures are richened for cooling purposes and to prevent detonation.

One would expect more power to be produced when heat is highest, right? The energy is the heat, right?

A richer-than-ideal mixture simply means some of the fuel isn't being burned, right? How does not burning fuel create more power?
