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 When unburned air/fuel mixture beyond the boundary of the flame front is subjected to a combination of heat and pressure for certain duration (beyond the delay period of the fuel used), detonation may occur. Detonation is characterized by an instantaneous, explosive ignition of at least one pocket of air/fuel mixture outside of the flame
