When an engine runs as it should the fuel/air mix in the combustion chamber ignites at the spark plug and the flame front spreads from there. In an engine that's knocking there are hotspots in the combustion chamber causing the fuel/air mixture to ignite prematurely a bit all over the place.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between detonation and knocking in ic engine?
Detonation involves a supersonic exothermic. Knocking in a engine is spark-ignition internal combustion.
What is the difference between knocking and detonation in engines?
both are the same thing..............
What is the difference between knocking and detonation?
Knocking is a rattling noise caused by abnormal combustion in the engine, typically due to improper fuel octane or ignition timing. Detonation is a more severe form of knocking where the air-fuel mixture explodes rather than burns, leading to increased pressure and temperature that can damage the engine. Both can be harmful to the engine and should be addressed promptly.
What is the purpose of a knock sensor in 2003 jeep wrangler?
It is there to detect detonation or ( knocking ) and the information is used to adjust timing by the pcm.
Is detonation caused by low octane fuel?
Yes, detonation can be caused by low octane fuel. Octane rating measures a fuel's resistance to knocking or detonation, which occurs when fuel-air mixtures ignite prematurely in the engine. Using fuel with a lower octane rating than what the engine is designed for can lead to increased engine temperatures and pressures, resulting in knocking and potential engine damage. To prevent detonation, it's important to use fuel that meets the manufacturer's recommended octane rating.
What will happen to a car if the gasoline does not have sufficient octane rating?
Knocking due to detonation in the cylinders, poor fuel mileage, reduced lifespan.
What is the detonation and knocking?
Detonation is the spontaneous combustion of the end-gas (remaining fuel/air mixture) in the chamber. It always occurs after normal combustion is initiated by the spark plug. Pre-ignition is defined as the ignition of the mixture prior to the spark plug firing
Can cars with superchargers run on regular gas?
yes may knocking sound though.
Why would a cars engine be knocking?
They're probably either too hot, or incorrectly timed.
Can a cars timing cause a knocking and loss of power?
of coarse it can, if the valves are not opening at the right time you will get this problem for sure
What term is used to describe an incomplete detonation or complete detonation at lower than maximum velocity?
low order detonationlow order detonation
What terms is used to describe an incomplete detonation or complete detonation at a lower than maximum velocity?
An incomplete detonation is referred to as a "deflagration," while a complete detonation at a lower than maximum velocity is known as a "low-order detonation."
