Weak mixture is not sufficient for proper burning so why thermal efficiency is higher.

Weak mixture results to complete combustion of fuel because each fuel particle carrying sufficient oxygen to burn it completely.
So, the complete combustion results of higher thermal efficiency.
So, the complete combustion results of higher thermal efficiency.

No required mixture in case diesel engine, only the fresh air inlet in combustion chamber burning by atomized diesel.

There is no mixing of fluids in case of diesel engine.

Weak mixture ensures the complete combustion of fuel so fuel economy increases and hence thermal efficiency.

Weak mixture leads to less peak temperatures which means less gamma and therefore less efficiency.

Weak mixture means lesser cut off ratio and as cut off ratio decreases efficiency increases.

The extremely weak air - fuel mixtures lead to lower combustion temperatures. While lean-burn gas engines offer higher theoretical thermal efficiencies, transient response and performance may be compromised in certain situations.

Weak mixture has low combustibility and therefore requires a very high combustion temperature for combustion to be possible and if compression ratio increases efficiency increases.
