Experimental study of a double exposure solar cooker with finned cooking vessel

Effect of fin configuration parameters on single basin solar still performance

“…For examples, the thermal performances of solar air collectors [15][16][17][18][19], a hydride photovoltaic-thermal solar air heater [20] and a solar cooker with finned cooking vessel [21] were reported in previous work. In the field of solar stills, the productivity of the single basin solar still augmented by integrating fins at the basin plate was studied by Velmurugan et al [22].…”

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

“…Detailed surveys of various designs of cooking equipments, their behaviour and energy efficiencies were carried out [22][23][24]. The cooking time was appreciably reduced when suitable modifications were made to the shape of the cooking vessel and it was reported that more heat was transferred to the food through the pot walls due to the changes in such configurations [25][26][27][28].…”

Optimum Inclination Angles of Booster Mirrors and Solar Radiation Availability on the Horizontal and Inclined Box Type Solar Cookers

“…Cooking vessel design in cylindrical shape of box type was also improved and its heat transfer from the lid was also made faster to the food material placed inside the vessel [11,12]. A comparative experimental study of a box type solar cooker with two different cooking vessels was made [13]. Fins are shown to improve the heat transfer from the internal hot air of the cooker towards the interior of the vessel where the food to be cooked is placed.…”
