Online aptitude test management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The purpose of on-line aptitude test system is to take online test in an efficient manner and no time wasting for checking the paper. The main objective of on-line aptitude test system is to efficiently evaluate the candidate thoroughly through a fully automated system that not only saves lot of time but also gives fast results. For students they give papers according to their convenience and time and there is no need of using extra thing like paper, pen etc. This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate world. Can be used anywhere any time as it is a web based application (user Location doesn’t matter). No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test.
Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository. It will also create an interface for the student to take examinations at his convenience and the questions and/or exams may be timed. Thereby creating an application which can be used by examiners and examinee’s simultaneously.
Examination System is very useful for Teachers/Professors. As in the teaching profession, you are responsible for writing question papers. In the conventional method, you write the question paper on paper, keep question papers separate from answers and all this information you have to keep in a locker to avoid unauthorized access. Using the Examination System you can create a question paper and everything will be written to a single exam file in encrypted format. You can set the General and Administrator password to avoid unauthorized access to your question paper. Every time you start the examination, the program shuffles all the questions and selects them randomly from the database, which reduces the chances of memorizing the questions.

An Approach to Detecting Writing Styles Based on Clustering Techniquesambekarshweta25
An Approach to Detecting Writing Styles Based on Clustering Techniques
Authors:
-Devkinandan Jagtap
-Shweta Ambekar
-Harshit Singh
-Nakul Sharma (Assistant Professor)
Institution:
VIIT Pune, India
Abstract:
This paper proposes a system to differentiate between human-generated and AI-generated texts using stylometric analysis. The system analyzes text files and classifies writing styles by employing various clustering algorithms, such as k-means, k-means++, hierarchical, and DBSCAN. The effectiveness of these algorithms is measured using silhouette scores. The system successfully identifies distinct writing styles within documents, demonstrating its potential for plagiarism detection.
Introduction:
Stylometry, the study of linguistic and structural features in texts, is used for tasks like plagiarism detection, genre separation, and author verification. This paper leverages stylometric analysis to identify different writing styles and improve plagiarism detection methods.
Methodology:
The system includes data collection, preprocessing, feature extraction, dimensional reduction, machine learning models for clustering, and performance comparison using silhouette scores. Feature extraction focuses on lexical features, vocabulary richness, and readability scores. The study uses a small dataset of texts from various authors and employs algorithms like k-means, k-means++, hierarchical clustering, and DBSCAN for clustering.
Results:
Experiments show that the system effectively identifies writing styles, with silhouette scores indicating reasonable to strong clustering when k=2. As the number of clusters increases, the silhouette scores decrease, indicating a drop in accuracy. K-means and k-means++ perform similarly, while hierarchical clustering is less optimized.
Conclusion and Future Work:
The system works well for distinguishing writing styles with two clusters but becomes less accurate as the number of clusters increases. Future research could focus on adding more parameters and optimizing the methodology to improve accuracy with higher cluster values. This system can enhance existing plagiarism detection tools, especially in academic settings.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

combustion may be termed as an abnormal combustion.
31. List the important abnormal combustions.
Detonation or Knock, Preignition and run-on.
32. What is stoichiometric mixture?
Stoichiometric mixture is one in which there is just enough air for complete combustion
of the fuel. Chemically correct air fuel ratio for octane fuel is 15:1.
33. Why a rich mixture is required for idling?
During idling, the air supply is restricted by the nearly closed throttle and the suction
pressure is very low. This condition of low pressure gives rise to backflow of exhaust gases and
air leakage from the various parts of the engine intake system.
The problem of dilution by residual gases becomes more pronounced at low loads and idling
because the exhaust temperature reduces with decreasing load .
The above phenomena require that the air-fuel ratios used for idling should be rich for smooth
engine operation.

types of abnormal combustion. The most important factor affecting flame speed is fuel-air ratio
and turbulence.
40. What is pre-ignition?
The increase in the rate of heat transfer to the walls cause local overheating, especially

UNIT – II COMPRESSION IGNITION ENGINES
1.WhatarethestagesofcombustioninC.Iengine?
The stages of combustion in C.I engine are four stages:
Stage 1: ignition delay period (preparatory phase)
Stage 2: Period of rapid combustion.
Stage 3: Period of controlled combustion.
Stage 4: Period of afterburning.
2. What is ignition delay period?
The fuel does not ignite immediately upon injection into the combustion chamber. There
is a definite period of inactivity between the time when the first droplet of fuel hits the hot air in
the combustion chamber and the time it starts through the actual burning phase. This period is
known as ignition delay period.
3. What are two delays occur in ignition delay period?
The two delays occur in ignition delay period are the physically delay and chemically
delay. Physical delay is the time between the beginning of injection and the attainment of
chemical reaction conditions. Chemical delay is the reaction starts slowly and then accelerates
until the inflammation or ignition takes place.

small engines.
11. What is indirect injection type of combustion?
Indirect injection type of combustion chamber in which the combustion space is divided
in to two or more distinct compartment connected by restricts passages. This creates considerable
pressure difference between them during the combustion process.
12. Write the classification of indirect injection chamber (divided combustion chamber)
Classification of divided combustion chamber is

15. ME6016 ADVANCED I.C ENGINES
ii. Specific fuel consumption is high
15.Whyspecificfuelconsumptionishighinindirectinjectiontypecombustionchamber:
Specific fuel consumption is high because there is a loss of pressure due to air motion
through the duct and heat loss due to large heat transfer area.
16. What is turbo charging?
Energy available in the engines exhaust gas is used to drive the the turbocharger
compressor, which raises the inlet fluid density prior to entry to each engine cylinder. This is
called turbo charging.
17. What are the major parts of a turbocharger?
The major parts of a turbocharger are turbine wheel, turbine housing, turbo shaft,
compressor wheel, compressor housing and bearing housing.
18.Explainthetermturbolag.
In case of turbo charging there is a phenomenon called turbo lag, which refers to the short
delay period before the boost or manifold pressure, increase. This is due to the time the
turbocharger assembly takes the exhaust gases to accelerate the turbine and compressor wheel to
speed up.
19. Explain the function of waste gate.
In the turbocharger assembly there is a control unit called waste gate. It is a diaphragram
operated value that can bypass part of the gases around the turbine wheel when manifold
pressure is quite high this unit limits the maximum boost pressure to prevent detonation in S.I
engines and engine damage.
20. Why there is a large pressure differences across the injector nozzle are required:

6. Oil on combustion chamber walls.
3.WhatarethereasonsforincompletecombustioninSIengine?
Incomplete combustion is due to
i. Improper mixing due to incomplete mixing of the air and fuel. Some fuel particles
do not find the oxygen to react with this cause the emissions.
18. ME6016 ADVANCED I.C ENGINES
ii. Flame quenching: As the flame goes very close to the walls it gets quenched at
the walls leaving a small volume of unreacted air fuel mixture.
4. What are the reasons for flame quenching?
The reason for flame quenching is the expansion of gases.
(i)As the piston moves down from TDC to BDC during power stroke, expansion of the gases
lowers both pressure and temperature with in the cylinder. This makes combustion slow
and finally quenches the flame and causes the emissions.
(ii)High exhaust gas contamination causes poor combustion and which in turn causes
quenching during expansion.
(iii) As the flame goes very close to the walls it gets quenched at the walls leaving a small
volume of un reacted air-fuel mixture.
5. How the oil consumption increases in IC engines and what are the effects
Often as engines ages, due o wear, clearance between the pistons and cylinder wall
increases. This increases oil consumption contributes to increases in the emissions in three ways.
i. There is an added crevices volume.
ii. There is added absorption – desorption of fuel in the thicker oil film on cylinder
walls
iii. There is oil burned in the combustion process
