Abstract
ABSTRACT
A complete design and simulation of a parabolic dish solar cooker was carried out. The cooker can
be used for boiling water as well as cooking in an isolation. A simulation model for transient state
was introduced to predict the absorber (cooking pot), pot cover, cooking fluid and air gap
temperatures. Linear regression was used to analyzed the data, an average standard error limit of
12.458345% and R2of 85.725% for the model was obtained which indicate a satisfactory agreement
by comparison of experimental and theoretical result. An average instantaneous efficiency of 84%
was determined at beam radiation of 650W/m2.
