Fuel Antiknock Quality: Engine Response to RON (Research Octane Number) versus MON (Motor Octane Number) - Scoping Tests

摘要

The specific objective of the program was to determine the relative knock-limited performance of five, all-hydrocarbon (i.e. containing no oxygenates) test fuels with varying RON, MON, and sensitivity (RON - MON). Sensitivities of the fuels ranged from 2 to 12, and anti-knock indices (AKI = (RON+MON)/2) varied from 86 to 89, nominally.
