Research octane number refers to the

A. Low octane number motor fuels

B. High octane number motor fuels

C. High octane number aviation fuels

D. Unleaded motor fuels

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

In petroleum refinery engineering, the research octane number (RON) refers to high octane number motor fuels (Option B).

The research octane number (RON) is a measure of the anti-knock properties of motor fuels. Higher RON values indicate better resistance to knocking or detonation in spark-ignition engines. Fuels with high RON values are desirable for use in high-performance engines or engines with high compression ratios, as they help prevent knocking and improve engine efficiency.

Therefore, the correct option is Option B: High octane number motor fuels.
