Mechanical Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Mechanical Seal Leakage Model

This Mechanical Engineering final year project examines examining idealised leakage through a narrow annular seal gap through a bounded mechanical model or approved teaching-laboratory investigation with measurable comparison criteria.

Why choose this project topic?

Focusing on examining idealised leakage through a narrow annular seal gap gives the project a clear mechanical question and a manageable set of design choices. The comparison of leakage estimate, gap sensitivity and pressure dependence 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 leakage estimate, gap sensitivity and pressure dependence when examining idealised leakage through a narrow annular seal gap?

Choose a feasible approved apparatus or explicitly fictional model, then agree dimensions, operating ranges and evaluation criteria for examining idealised leakage through a narrow annular seal gap with your supervisor.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the geometry, operating assumptions and evidence needed for examining idealised leakage through a narrow annular seal gap.
  2. 02Use documented laminar-flow assumptions, vary gap and fluid viscosity and identify conditions where the model becomes invalid.
  3. 03Compare leakage estimate, gap sensitivity and pressure dependence and assess uncertainty and practical limitations.

A suggested research approach

Use documented laminar-flow assumptions, vary gap and fluid viscosity and identify conditions where the model becomes invalid. Agree equipment access and safe operating limits before any physical work. Record units, boundary conditions and calibration or numerical checks, then evaluate leakage estimate, gap sensitivity and pressure dependence against a stated baseline and explain where simplified assumptions affect the result.

What you will need

  • Fluid mechanics equations
  • Fictional seal geometry
  • Parameter analysis software

Keep your project scope clear

The analysis does not certify sealing of hazardous fluids or recommend live equipment adjustments.
