Mechanical Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Hand Pump Ergonomic Force Model

This Mechanical Engineering final year project examines balancing handle force and delivered water in a fictional hand pump through a bounded mechanical model or approved teaching-laboratory investigation with measurable comparison criteria.

Why choose this project topic?

Focusing on balancing handle force and delivered water in a fictional hand pump gives the project a clear mechanical question and a manageable set of design choices. The comparison of handle force, stroke work and delivered volume supports drawings, calculations and a discussion of the trade-offs and uncertainty behind the proposed solution.

How do the selected mechanical design or modelling choices affect handle force, stroke work and delivered volume when balancing handle force and delivered water in a fictional hand pump?

Choose a feasible approved apparatus or explicitly fictional model, then agree dimensions, operating ranges and evaluation criteria for balancing handle force and delivered water in a fictional hand pump with your supervisor.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the geometry, operating assumptions and evidence needed for balancing handle force and delivered water in a fictional hand pump.
  2. 02Model lever geometry and hydraulic resistance, compare handle lengths and stroke assumptions and report feasible operating ranges.
  3. 03Compare handle force, stroke work and delivered volume and assess uncertainty and practical limitations.

A suggested research approach

Model lever geometry and hydraulic resistance, compare handle lengths and stroke assumptions and report feasible operating ranges. Agree equipment access and safe operating limits before any physical work. Record units, boundary conditions and calibration or numerical checks, then evaluate handle force, stroke work and delivered volume against a stated baseline and explain where simplified assumptions affect the result.

What you will need

  • Fictional pump geometry
  • Hydraulic resistance assumptions
  • Mechanical calculation tools

Keep your project scope clear

The study does not certify accessibility, water quality or safety of an installed pump.
