What happens to my car?
Abstract
Those who have driven a motor vehicle have likely detected abnormal engine noises, similar to small explosions inside. Indeed, spark ignition vehicles often experience premature detonation of the piston, which is severely detrimental to the internal components of the engine and reduces its performance. This phenomenon is directly related to the quality of the fuel supplied, which, among other factors, is determined by the octane number. The higher the octane number, the higher the gasoline quality and the lower the engine damage. In this work, the catalytic reform process is described, with which the octane number of fuels is increased, and the importance of optimizing said process, both for the care of the engine and the environment.
