  • Q3. How compression ratio can be tweaked, what are the factors ( how coverage, Patten count gets impacted).
  • Ans. 

    Compression ratio can be tweaked by adjusting the volume of the combustion chamber. This affects fuel efficiency and power output.

    • Compression ratio is the ratio of the volume of the combustion chamber at its largest to its smallest.

    • Increasing compression ratio can improve fuel efficiency and power output, but too high a ratio can cause engine knocking.

    • Factors that impact compression ratio include the size and shape of ...

  • Q6. How can we reset a tap controller without trst signals. How do you find coverage gaps.
  • Ans. 

    Resetting a tap controller without trst signals and finding coverage gaps.

    • For resetting a tap controller without trst signals, we can use a power-on reset circuit or a watchdog timer.

    • To find coverage gaps, we can use code coverage analysis tools like CodeSonar, Coverity, or LDRA.

    • We can also use dynamic analysis tools like Valgrind or Purify to find runtime errors and coverage gaps.
