In the piston (large radial) world,
a water/alcohol mix is injected just downstream of the carburettor for
hight power operation. This has the effect of reducing combustion
chamber temperatures, thus allowing higher manifold pressures (i.e. HP)
without detonation.

And congrats on making First Officer!!
