The United States Navy used the statistics of the law of averages to buck up the morale of their men. One ex-sailor told me that when he and his shipmates were assigned to high-octane tankers, they were worried stiff.
So, but with the size of something like a hydrocarbon chain that's short for gasoline, it's like octane is like, I think about the biggest that is not going to have that much of an effect.
So alkanes with 5 to 18 chains of carbon atoms like octane and gasoline are liquids at room temperature and those with more than 18 carbon atoms like paraffin or other waxes are solids.
Recovery technology aims at helping athletes bounce back from the intense training and activity their bodies go through, and make the most of those high octane workouts.
But low-octane engines don’t compress enough for high-octane fuels, and there isn’t enough time between the spark and the gas being swept out of the chamber for all that fuel to be used up.
