2

Which of the following is the result of the air-fuel mixture exploding instead of burning?

64% Answer Correctly

post-ignition

pre-detonation

pre-ignition

detonation


Solution

Normal combustion in an engine is initiated by a spark plug and results in the complete burning of the air-fuel mixture. If combustion is initiated by a source other than the spark plug, by a hot spot in the cylinder or combustion chamber for example, pre-ignition results. Detonation results if the air-fuel mixture explodes instead of burning. Detonation can cause extremes in pressure in the combustion chamber leading to engine damage.


3
