Forthcoming and Online First Articles

International Journal of Design Engineering

International Journal of Design Engineering (IJDE)

Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

Online First articles are published online here, before they appear in a journal issue. Online First articles are fully citeable, complete with a DOI. They can be cited, read, and downloaded. Online First articles are published as Open Access (OA) articles to make the latest research available as early as possible.

Open AccessArticles marked with this Open Access icon are Online First articles. They are freely available and openly accessible to all without any restriction except the ones stated in their respective CC licenses.

  • A Comprehensive Study on the Impact of Waste Plastic Oil on Engine Wear   Order a copy of this article
    by VIPUL BHATT, Tushar M. Patel 
    Abstract: Biofuels are popular as renewable, sustainable, and alternative fuel sources for compression ignition engines. This is because they reduce dependence on imported petroleum, combat global warming, and extend engine life amid environmental degradation and rising oil prices. Biofuels cause long-term issues for compression ignition engines, such as injector coking, ring-sticking, poor atomisation, deposits, injector pump faults, and lubricating oil dilution via crank case polymerisation. This article assessed the wear impact of waste plastic oil (WPO) on engine components and compared it to conventional diesel fuels to determine its viability as a long-term fuel option for compression ignition engines. A diesel engine was subjected to a 512-hour endurance test using diesel fuel and WPO, and its physical condition, dimensions, and weight were analysed before and after the test. WPO-fuelled engines showed reduced wear on several components, including piston rings, piston, gudgeon pin, cylinder liner, bearing, and valves.
    Keywords: biofuels; WPO; diesel engine; long run endurance test; wear.

  • Design and Analysis of Off-setting Anti-Splashing Vaned Plate   Order a copy of this article
    by Sahaj Patel, Anand Patel 
    Abstract: Splashing is the main problem of the vehicle while passing over a water puddle on the road. The current research paper shows the solution to four problems in the vaned plate attached to the wheel. This research gives a design comparison of normal plate and vaned plate and how it differs in splashing conditions. The research used static analysis based on the ANSYS R19.2 and Mechanical APDL solver. The load is specifically applied to the area where the possibility of splashing occurs. The current work shows carbon fibre is the best material for the vaned plate attached to the wheel. It is concluded that the chances of failure would be null with the 20 kg/cm2 pressure in terms of splash applied on the splashing area.
    Keywords: anti-splashing; splash; plate; automobile; wheel; clamp; attaching; detaching; clamping plate; power.

  • Scheffler reflector based solar cooking system with dual sensible heat storage material for night cooking application: An experimental investigation   Order a copy of this article
    by Romil Patel, Vikramkumar B. Patel 
    Abstract: In this research paper, Scheffler reflector solar cooker with dual SHSMs for night cooking application has been investigated experimentally. In solar cooker, one material filled in inner pot and another one material filled in outer pot of solar cooker. Six combinations are formed from sand, iron pieces and pebbles for thermal energy storage. In experimental work, Scheffler reflector type solar cooker transfer heat to a receiver. During daylight hours, the SHSM unit collected and stored heat, while in the evening, the solar cooker was transferred to an insulated box and loaded for cooking. The stored heat within the SHSM is transferred to the cooking medium. It was resulted that the food could be cooked in cases of inner and outer space filled with sand-iron pieces, pebbles-sand, sand-pebbles and partially cooked in cases of iron pieces-sand, iron pieces-pebbles, pebbles-iron pieces. After calculation of payback period, it was showing 10.01 years.
    Keywords: Scheffler reflector; solar energy; solar cooking; SHSM units; sensible heat; thermal performance.
