What is the correct octane rating for 10.5 to 1 compression ratio?
is it right 92
Is it possible to determine an octane rating from a vapour?
The octane rating of a substance is a measure of its resistance to autocombustion when compressed. By definition, isooctane has an octane rating of 100, and n-heptane a rating of 0, and all others are in comparison to these two.There are various ways to measure the octane rating of a substance. On way is determined by running the fuel through a specific test engine with a variable compression ratio under controlled conditions, and comparing these results with those for mixtures of isooctane and n-heptane.For other more information, and for the source of this information, see the Wikipedia link under the Web Links to the left of this answer.
What is the history behind the chemical compound octane?
OCTANE - A rating scale used to grade gasoline as to its antiknock properties. Also any of several isometric liquid paraffin hydrocarbons, C8H18. Normal octane is a colorless liquid found in petroleum boiling at 124.6 degrees Celsius. OCTANE RATING - A measure of a gasoline's resistance to exploding too early in the engine cycle, which causes knocking. The higher the rating, the lower the chance of premature ignition.
Is there any formula for calculation of octane no?
Calculating octane is a compex process, but the formula is simple (the difficulty is getting the values from the manufacturer). Gasoline pumps typically post octane numbers as an average of two different values. Often you may see the octane rating quoted as (R+M)/2. One value is the research octane number (RON), which is determined with a test engine running at a low speed of 600 rpm. The other value is the motor octane number (MON), which is determined with a test engine running at a higher speed of 900 rpm. If, for example, a gasoline has an RON of 98 and a MON of 90, then the posted octane number would be the average of the two values or 94. See related links for information about computing octane numbers.
What is the octane rating of methanol?
The octane rating of methanol depends on the octane rating scale measurement type used, n-Heptane is the zero point of the octane rating scale then the octane rating of methanol is 115
What octane is kerosene?
It has no octane rating.
Increase branching of a hydrcarbon has what effect on its octane rating?
Increasing branching increases octane rating.
What does octane mean?
Octane rating is the resistance to burning. For example (not real number) a gas with an octane rating of 50 will burn at 100 degrees Fahrenheit whereas a gas with an octane rating of 100 will burn at 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Higher the octane number the harder it is to burn.
