Volume of fuel & volume of air entering the cylinder
Weight of fuel & weight of air entering the cylinder
Weight of fuel & weight of air entering the carburetor
Detonation occurs in a reciprocating aircraft engine when
The spark plugs are fouled or shorted out or wiring is defective
Hot spots in the combustion chamber ignite the fuel/air mixture in advance of normal ignition
Unburied charge in the cylinders explodes instead of burning normally
Detonation may occur @ high power settings when
The fuel mixture ignites instantaneously instead of burning progressively & evenly
Excessively rich fuel mixture causes an explosive gain in power
Fuel mixture is ignited too early by hot carbon deposits in the cylinder
