Portable solar cooker and water heater

Optical, geometric and thermal study for solar parabolic concentrator efficiency improvement under Tunisia environment: A case study

“…The average temperature of water is 300°C when the absorber is placed at the focal point. Badran et al [29] designed a portable solar cooker water heater, 150 cm in diameter; covered with aluminum foil the collector. The average tank temperature is equal to 50°C.…”

Meeting Future Energy Needs in the Hindu Kush Himalaya

“…Chauhan and Saini (2015) found a potential for integrating various sourcessuch as hydropower, biogas, solar, and wind-into off-grid energy systems in the mountainous regions of India. In addition to electricity generation, solar energy can potentially be used for cooking and heating (Badran et al 2010). Thus, off-grid energy solutions (such as PVor mini-hydro) often offer better options for providing electricity in remote areas.…”

Solar Thermal Energy Storage for Solar Cookers

“…A portable solar cooker and water heater using a parabolic concentrator, shown in Figure 14.5, was designed by Badran et al (2010). A portable solar cooker and water heater using a parabolic concentrator, shown in Figure 14.5, was designed by Badran et al (2010).…”
