“…It is noted that increased CR and or MAP is expected with the implementation of various knock preventive strategies. These strategies could include direct injection (DI), exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), intake charge cooling (intercooling and/or evaporative), combustion enhancement through chamber design and increases in fuel octane number [14,15,16,17,18,19]. However, trends confirm that for a given CR and MAP condition, knock is less prone at higher engine speeds [13,20].…”
