That is a simplified over view, to go into detail would be way too long for me to type.

And the ideal CR for boost is 8.5:1 for real big boost and around 9.0:1 -9.5:1 for smaller boost.
Here is a simple explanation a third grader could understand.
imagine you have 10.6 glass's of water(BDC), now compress them into one glass(TDC), that is what the numbers mean.
