“…A portion of this energy is absorbed by the cooker and converted to the cooking liquid as useful energy, whereas some of it is lost by convection and radiation to the glass, by convection through the lateral insulation and by convection to the air volume inside the cooker. The remaining portion of the absorbed energy is stored as internal energy [31]. To perform energy analysis of a solar cooker, quantities of input and output energy must be evaluated.…”

SUMMARYThe performance of a low-cost compound box-reflector solar cooker designed and constructed by the department of Mechanical Engineering, at the University of Zimbabwe, was investigated and evaluated using a microcontroller-based measurement system over a period of 3 months. Solar radiation and temperature measurements are sent directly to the computer for monitoring and subsequent analysis using a spreadsheet program. The system is connected to the computer through the RS232 port. Temperature was measured by LM335 temperature sensors, whereas solar radiation was measured by a Kipp & Zonen CM3 thermopile-based pyranometer that was initially calibrated against the Eppley Precision Spectral Pyranometer. Peak temperatures of about 901C for the food can be attained in about 5 h on a clear day in Bindura, Zimbabwe (181S, 311E). A standardized cooking power of 11 W and an overall efficiency of 15% were found for this cooker.

“…Traditional methods of characterizing the performance of solar cookers are based on energy analysis [14][15][16][17]. This analysis, in turn, is based on the first law of thermodynamics and provides information about the quantity of energy without investigating the quality and the availability of energy.…”

“…Due to the fourth order form of the last equation the resulting differential equation is nonlinear and must be solved by numerical methods. We applied the Rung-Kutta method to the fourth order [7,8]. For this purpose we wrote a corresponding program in FORTRAN to solve it.…”

Solar energy is a substitute for fossil fuels mainly for power generation. A method of solar concentration of medium and high range of temperatures has been adopted for different electrical applications. In this perspective we try to evaluate the performance of a parabolic dish concentrator type on the production of steam. For this, we simulated the evolution of the production of steam in a cylinder containing a receiver coil. The receiver is based on the focal point of the concentrator. Finally, we test the time evolution of the mass, temperature and pressure for steam at the receiver output. The prototype was realized with simple and available means making it very convenient and economical.
