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.
Detonation is when the air-fuel mixture in a cylinder burns too rapidly or explodes rather than burning as a controlled burn. This can be caused by too lean an air-fuel mixture, timing too advanced or compression ratio too high for the fuel being used (or too low an octane fuel for the compression ratio).ace fuel, on the other hand, at 110 to 118 octane will allow compression ratios of 14.5 to 15:1 if tuned properly. Since E-85 has an effective octane of about 110 we are doing research on what we can build using it, keeping in mind some other components will need to be changed to accommodate the use of alcohol.
