Best Answer: In an acid-base titration the idea is to carry out a neutralization reaction between an acid solution and a base solution in order to determine the ...
Detonation (not to be confused with pre-ignition) is a spontaneous combustion of the end-gas (remaning air-fuel mixture) within the combustion chamber AFTER the spark/ignition. Combustion of the air-fuel mixture is supposed to be a smooth, controlled burn originating at the spark plug and spreading throughout the chamber, (relatively) steadily increasing pressure and tempurature to drive the piston down.
PRE-IGNITION AND DETONATION. BEFORE we consider the use of other additives to the fuel we must get a clear understanding of the problem introduced by two well known conditions that occur, especially when you are seeking high performance from the engine, and in particular using fuel of the type we have been discussing.
