 Introduction

A pump is a device that moves fluids (liquids or gases)or

sometimes slurries, by mechanical action. Pumps can be
classified into three major groups according to the method
they use to move the fluid: direct lift, displacement, and
gravity pumps.
 Scotch Yoke mechanism is a simple type of mechanism which converts
circular motion into reciprocating motion as discussed in construction
part above. The power is supplied to the Dc motor, shaft and crank
attached to the shaft start rotating. As the crank rotates the pin slides
inside the yoke and also moves the yoke forward. When the crank
rotates through in clockwise direction the yoke will get a displacement
in the forward direction. The maximum displacement will be equal to
the length of the crank. When the crank completes the next of rotation
the yoke comes back to its initial position. For the next of rotation ,yoke
moves in the backward direction. When the crank completes a
full rotation the yoke moves back to the initial position. For a complete
rotation of crank the yoke moves through a length equal to double the
length of the crank. The displacement of the yoke can be controlled by
varying the length of the crank.
 ADVANTAGES:
It is easy to suck the water with the
minimum effort.
Less cost.
Simple in design.
It draws water faster than normal hand
pumps.
Less time consumption operation.
APPLICATIONS:
It is used in rural areas.
As the installation cost of hand water
pump with hand lever is low it is useful
for poor people.
It can be installed in all the public
places.
 Statement of the Problem
The use of a single stage pump is beneficial to maintain
properly, there are few options if there is a need for a high
demand in discharge rate. The use of a dual stage pump will
increase the discharge rate but the initial cost will be high
because there will be two pumps installed that will run parallel
to use their power simultaneously. Buying two pumps will
generate expenses to the initial cost user especially when
using water for agriculture.
 Proposed Solution
A hydraulic regenerative braking system installed to a bicycle
can help recover the energy that would be lost in braking the
wheels thus help the wheel propel forward by the use of the
pressure obtained from braking the bicycle
 Justification
The purpose of this study is to achieve a high discharge rate
and efficiency of a water pump using the principle of a scotch
yoke mechanism. Initial cost of the machine is lesser than
because less moving parts are involved.

 Impact of the alternate wetting and drying (AWD) water-
saving irrigation technique: evidence from rice producers in
the Philippines
This article evaluates the impacts of a controlled irrigation technique in
rice production called alternate wetting and drying (AWD). Propensity
score matching (PSM) and regression-based approaches applied to
farm-level survey data are used to achieve the objective of the study.
The PSM and regression-based approach accounts for the potential bias
due to selection problems from observable variables. Results of the
impact analysis using both empirical approaches indicate that AWD,
particularly the Safe AWD variant, reduces the hours of irrigation use
(by about 38%), without a statistically significant reduction in yields and
profits. This reduction in irrigation time translates to corresponding
savings in the amount of irrigation water and pumping energy used.
However, further analysis of the impact estimates suggests that the
potential magnitude of the selection bias based on unobservable
variables may still be able to eliminate the measured impact from the
PSM and regression-based techniques that only control for selection
based on observable variables. Hence, the current impact results have
to be interpreted with caution and further data collection is needed to
construct a panel data that would allow one to account for selection
problems due to unobservable variables and, consequently, better
estimate the AWD impact. Roderick M.Rejesus (2010)
