A comprehensive review on solar cookers

Thermal performance investigation of heat insulation solar glass: A comparative experimental study

“…However, fossil fuel based energy resources still have the greatest percentage in global energy consumption, resulting in heavy environmental impacts such as ozone layer depletion, global warming and climate change [2] due to the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere [3]. Intensive efforts are made worldwide to narrow the gap between fossil fuels and renewables [4].…”

Analysis of rural household energy consumption and renewable energy systems in Zhangziying town of Beijing

“…In recent years, about 14% of the global energy demand is met by renewable energy resources, which is expected with remarkable potential in the future (Chen et al, 2011b;Cuce and Cuce, 2013;Hasan and Sumathy, 2010;Niu et al, 2014;Panwar et al, 2011). Both the developed countries and developing countries pay great attention to development of renewable energy.…”

Performance assessment of a solar domestic cooking unit integrated with thermal energy storage system

“…Though different types of classification of solar cookers are reported in literature [5][6][7][8], they are broadly categorised into two types, the box type and the concentration type. In the box type solar cookers, the solar radiation enters directly through the glass window for cooking the food.…”
