about 8 bar at the stoichiometric air–fuel ratio (f ¼ 1) with both methane and octane. Dissociation also
changes the equivalence ratio at which the peak pressure is achieved. If there is no dissociation then the
peak pressure is always reached at the stoichiometric ratio (f ¼ 1). However, when dissociation occurs
the equivalence ratio at which the peak pressure occurs is moved into the rich region (f > 1). This is
because dissociation tends to increase the amount of substance (n
P
) in the products, compared to the
non-dissociating case. The peak pressure with dissociation occurs at around f ¼ 1.1 for methane, and
around f ¼ 1.25 for octane. It is
