In this paper we obtain a mathematical thermal model to explain the behavior of the solar cooker: "Jorhejpataranskua". The model is shown in terms of a coupled system of three non-linear differential equations. We calculate temperatures for the fluid, the reflectors and the container of the solar cooker, and then compare the numerical results obtained with the model to measurements in field-testing operations and obtained results that agree with the experimental data. Finally, we use numerical results to calculate the cooking power and standardized cooking power of the solar cooker for two different containers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
