Octane number is a measure of the resistance of a gasoline fuel to knocking during combustion in a spark ignition engine. It represents the ability of the fuel to withstand compression without premature ignition. Higher octane number fuels can endure greater compression ratios, allowing engines to operate more efficiently and deliver better power output. Fuels with low octane numbers tend to ignite prematurely under high pressure and temperature conditions, causing knocking, which reduces engine efficiency and may damage engine components. Therefore, high-performance gasoline engines are generally designed to use high octane fuels to ensure smooth and controlled combustion during energy conversion from chemical energy to mechanical work. Cetane number,
