Abstract:
Food, cloth and shelter are three basic necessities of life. Food can be regarded as essential component for growth and survival of human being. So, the source of cooking is one of the most important things in our daily lives. There are various cooking sources of energy like kerosene, LPG, Firewood and Renewable sources etc. and one of them is solar cooking which is a renewable source of energy. Solar cooks are limited by the fact that cooking can only take place during daytime. If a thermal energy storage system is provided to solar cookers, food can be cooked during hours of evening or night. In the last few decades, the cooking sector has used various solar cookers, including the box type solar cooker, flat plate type solar cooker, parabolic dish type solar cooker, evacuated tube type solar cooker and Scheffler dish solar cooker with sensible heat, latent heat and Combined heat storage technologies for the solar cooker. As a result, this paper summarizes the investigation and analysis of the available thermal energy storage materials (sensible heat, latent heat and combined heat storage materials) to store heat during the daytime and use it for purposes other than daytime hours for use in solar cooking application. The current study also compares the Sensible heat, Latent heat and combined heat storage systems for cooking.

Abstract:
Energy demand is increasing due to population increment and industrialization. To meet this energy demand, technologies that use renewable energy such as solar energy are being developed. A parabolic solar cooker is one of the main solar cookers, which can cook food and boil water at a high temperature within a short period. This study aimed to design, construct, and evaluate the performance of the constructed parabolic solar cookers. Moreover, this study aimed to compare the constructed cooker with firewood, charcoal, kerosene, and electricity in terms of cooking time and energy cost. The cooker was constructed using different materials such as old satellite dishes, tyres, steel, and aluminum foil. The aperture diameter, aperture area, receiver diameter, receiver area, depth of the parabola, focal length, rim angle, circumference of the circle, surface area, length of the circumference, and concentration of the cooker were 1.8 m, 2.54 m2, 0.16 m, 0.02 m2, 0.3 m, 0.67 m, 67.38°, 5.76 m, 2.81 m2, 5.76 m, and 123.46, respectively. The cooker can track the sun from north to south and from east to west. The performance of the cooker was evaluated by calculating the efficiency and power. The output energy, input energy, and average upcoming solar radiation of the constructed parabolic solar cooker were 0.182 kW/m2, 1.691 kW/m2, and 0.665 kW/m2, respectively. The efficiency and power of the cooker were 10.75% and 0.3 kW/hr, respectively. The constructed parabolic solar cooker relatively showed better performance in cooking different foods. A family, which has five members, was considered to compare the constructed cooker with other fuels in terms of energy cost of cooking. Since the parabolic solar cooker does not have any energy cost, it can save the energy cost of cooking foods. Therefore, parabolic solar cookers have a great advantage for developing countries including Ethiopia.

Abstract:
The most common type of energy used is firewood. In some Sub Saharan countries, up to 90% of total energy use is from firewood. The consumption of wood fuel is in some countries as high as twice the sustainable yield, something that has led to environ-mental degradation due to deforestation and scarci-ty of firewood. The use of fossil fuels such as kerosene and LPG for cooking is expensive. Solar energy is a non-consumptive and non-polluting fuel. It can help alleviate the problem of insecurity of cooking energy, which is the major domestic energy requirement. Several attempts have been made to introduce solar cookers in different coun-tries and have achieved variable successes. There are still critical issues yet to be resolved in order to make that technology acceptable for wider dissemi-nation. They include getting the most appropriate types of solar cookers for specific locations, opti-mum size/capacity, types of materials to be used, optimal design and affordable cost. In an attempt to resolve these issues, a comprehensive study involv-ing theoretical review, development work, experi-mental testing and evaluation of solar cookers was conducted for several years on six different types of solar cookers. The cookers are the ‘SunStove’ box cooker, wooden box cooker, panel cooker, reflector cooker with unpolished aluminium reflectors, reflec-tor cooker with polished aluminium reflectors and reflector cooker with glass mirror reflectors. This paper presents the results of the study. Results obtained indicate that many of the cookers could be used to cook food for households in areas with medium and high insolation, with appropriate selec-tion of the type and specification of the cookers. The specification should be based on the measured inso-lation data of the location indication of the direct and diffuse components. As a guiding tool, reflector cookers offer best comparative performance in areas with longest durations of clear sky (greatest direct beam), panel and collector cookers under moderate cloudy conditions and box cookers under very cloudy conditions.

Abstract:
Single Point Incremental Forming is a new process, which has been developed to make both Rapid Prototyped products and low volume product batches from Sheet Metal. This paper presents a case study of the manufacture of a solar cooker cavity for developing country applications. In the first instance the request was for a rapid prototype, which quickly evolved into a request for low volume production of solar cookers for the developing country market. The paper describes the manufacture of the solar cooker cavity, and shows how the possibility of manufacturing part of the solar cooker, by Single Point Incremental Forming, gives rise to the possibility of manufacturing other parts for the solar cooker less expensively.

Abstract:
An inclined box-type solar cooker employing tracking reflectors with dimensions 700mm x 440mm x 280mm, has been successfully designed and fabricated. The detachable reflectors, which were mounted on the box cooker, were suitably positioned in an east-west configuration on an inclined framework. This automatically tracks the apparent motion of the sun within 15 minutes time interval so as to align with the earth’s rotation when displayed under the sun. Thermal performance of the inclined box-type solar cooker has also been compared with that of a conventional box-type solar cooker whose dimensions and make are identical to the inclined box cooker. Testing of the tracking box type solar cooker has been carried out with load and without load conditions at Federal University of Technology Owerri, Imo State, located at Latitude 5oN, Longitude 7oE, Altitude 156m (Altitude 511ft) and 12km south of Owerri capital territory. Experimental results obtained from the field test show that the inclined box-type solar cooker with tracking reflectors attained temperature of 94oC, with efficiency of 93% and boiled water for 1hour 28 minutes. The conventional box-type solar cooker attained a temperature of 91oC, with efficiency of 90.9% and boiled water for 1hour 36 minutes. The tracking box cooker was found to be more efficient and effective than the conventional box cooker. Meteorological variables like Air Temperature, Irradiance, Relative Humidity and Wind speed were also obtained to investigate their effects on the performance of the box cookers.

Abstract:
Solar cookers can greatly reduce the overall carbon footprint of the cooking done in India. In the present work a funnel-type solar cooker is designed using cardboard. After making the solar cooker it is then analyzed on the various performance metrics namely the figures of merit, efficiency value and Cooker Opto–thermal Ratio (COR) which are dependent parameters. Paraffin wax which is a phase change material (PCM) is also incorporated in the testing process to evaluate the overall improvement in the thermal efficiency of the solar cooker. The time taken to break is also calculated. The experimental results show that the solar cooker is capable of reaching a temperature of 125 °C. From the results it can also be seen that using paraffin wax also offers significant improvement in the overall thermal efficiency. The results are tested on various parts of India considering the major cities such as Chennai, Trivandrum, Kanpur and Delhi with the ANN model, which is a deep learning model. The advantage of this model is that it can forecast and estimate the temperature of the absorber plate and water from weather forecasting data which is used to calculate F1 and F2 metrics for the performance of the solar cooker. For all the cities, the model’s R2 value is greater than 99% and RMSE values are small.

Abstract:
The failure of a pane of glass from a solar box cooker made and used in Sabana Grande, Nicaragua, was analyzed to determine the cause of failure and to recommend possible solutions. Background research into solar box cookers, the environment in which the failure occurred, characteristics of glass and wood, methods of fractography, and glass cutting tools and methods was carried out. The type of glass used in the solar cooker was unknown, so the observable physical properties, an energy dispersive spectroscopic scan, and thermal analysis of the glass were used to identify the glass as soda-lime glass. The properties of the glass, the conditions of use, and an analysis of the fracture pattern and fracture surfaces were used to determine that the glass had been weakened by cutting processes and that the fracture occurred as a result of thermal stresses. Several recommendations were presented including altering the design of the solar cooker to provide more clearance for the glass panels, incorporating the use of improved glass cutting techniques and sanding the edges of the glass.

One reason that solar cookers have not gained widespread acceptance is because their use has proved inconvenient and impractical. Users are restricted to cooking when, and where, the sun is shining. Furthermore, the cooking temperature can not readily be raised or lowered as desired. In contrast, the Wilson solar cooker is designed to permit use under conditions characterized by low or no insulation. Furthermore, the design would facilitate users adjusting temperatures. These temperatures would reach levels as high as 258° C. In order to validate the concept, construction of one prototype was initiated. Lithium nitrate, the heat-storage material, was shown to meet the stated requirements of storing heat at a constant temperature of 258° C for up to six hours. Furthermore, this heat-storage material stored heat at temperatures above the boiling point of water, for up to 25 hours. Thus, it is expected that a meal for six people can be prepared up to six hours after charging of the thermal battery.

Solar cookers are aimed at reducing pollution and desertification in the developing world. However, they are often disregarded as they do not give users the ability to cook after daylight hours. The Wilson solar cooker is a solar cooker designed to address this problem by converting solar energy and storing that energy as heat in the form of molten salt (lithium nitrate). This thesis involved research, modeling, and experimentation for the solar collection system of the cooker. This thesis looked at prior research on glazing, Fresnel lenses, and absorber surface treatments to identify and evaluate elements for use in the collection system. Borosilicate glass, with a thermal conductivity of 1.005 W/mK and a solar transmittance of 0.91, and flat black paint, with absorptivity 0.96 and emissivity 0.88 were identified as potential elements for use in first trials. Experimentation was performed on copper and aluminum samples with various surface treatments powered by various Fresnel lenses to evaluate the relative efficiency of these treatments. A novel treatment method, machining a conical hole into the sample, was found to improve efficiency on untreated samples, but inferior to flat black paint. Modeling predicted that the minimum collection area for an acrylic Fresnel lens off-number 1.2 was 0.60 m² for and 0.65 m² for the proposed collector without and with glazing, respectively. A recommendation of collection area 1 m² was proposed to account for unexpected losses due to manufacturing errors, positioning errors, and environmental variation. This thesis also analyzed a proposal for a novel solar collector, a polished aluminum cone. Modeling and efficiency testing showed the cone to be inadequate for the radiation collection needed for the solar cooker.

Extensive research and development activities have been conducted to explore opportunities for sustainable and viable methods of producing potable water using solar energy. This project included a new configuration for the solar cooker with indirect heating, which also operates as a desalination unit. The objective was to develop a new cooking pan which could be coupled with a three-stage desalination tower. Thus, the pan could be used for cooking or as the storage tank of the desalination tower. This new pan was installed in a solar cooker with indirect heating and the complete system was tested under field conditions. The sealing was improved, and the system produced more than 5.7L, with electrical conductivity lower than 10ÂS/cm, COP, 1.77 and GOR, 0,35, values consistent with the literature and above the values obtained with the original pan.

This work presents two new prototypes of a circular desalinator operation in a solar cooker for indirect heating. The first prototype, called Type A, produces desalinated water from brackish water deposited in the pan solar cooker. In the second prototype, the Type B, the brackish water pan is used only as a means of transfering heat to the first tray tower desalination. These prototypes were fabricated and tested in LESGN (Solar Energy Laboratory and Natural Gas). Its structure consists of stainless steel plates, trays with circular and inclined downwards (with circular trays to facilitate the flow of condensed water) and "pipes" (that harvest desalinated water and take out the stages and side rails, harvesting the water that condenses the side walls). The desalting tower was formed by a set of trays to facilitate the handling and operation. The experiments were conducted between 7.00am and 5.00pm and the maximum number of stages was three. Experiments with 2 and 3 stages confirmed the heat recovery process, in other words, the repeated use of the heat stored in the desalinated water in a lower stage by stage above. The experimental results showed that the maximum production were daily for the Type A, 4.72 L with 3 stages, and the desalinator Type B 3.50 L also with 3 stages. It was found that the efficiency of desalination type A was greater than that of Type B, which explains why Type B has a further resistance to heat transfer. On the other hand, Type B prototype allows continued operation of the desalination tower, not requiring the dismantling after each emptying process of the water in the pan
Este trabalho apresenta dois novos protÃtipos de um dessalinizador circular para operaÃÃo em um fogÃo solar de aquecimento indireto. O primeiro protÃtipo, denominado Tipo A, produz Ãgua dessalinizada a partir da Ãgua salobra depositada na panela do fogÃo solar. No segundo protÃtipo, o Tipo B, a Ãgua salobra da panela à usada apenas como meio de transferÃncia de calor para a primeira bandeja da torre de dessalinizaÃÃo. Estes protÃtipos foram fabricados e testados no LESGN (LaboratÃrio de Energia Solar e GÃs Natural). Sua estrutura à formada por chapas de aÃo inoxidÃvel com bandejas circulares e inclinadas para baixo, com bandejas circulares para facilitar o escoamento da Ãgua condensada, âcachimbosâ, que colhem a Ãgua dessalinizada e levam para fora dos estÃgios e calhas laterais, que colhem a Ãgua que condensa pelas paredes laterais. A torre de dessalinizaÃÃo foi formada por um conjunto de bandejas para facilitar o manuseio e operaÃÃo. Os experimentos foram realizados entre 7 e 17 hs e o nÃmero mÃximo de estÃgios foi trÃs. Os experimentos com 2 e 3 estÃgios confirmaram o processo de recuperaÃÃo de calor, ou seja, a utilizaÃÃo repetida do calor armazenado na Ãgua dessalinizada em um estÃgio inferior pelo estÃgio superior. Os resultados experimentais mostraram que as mÃximas produÃÃes diÃrias foram, para o Tipo A, de 4,72 L com 3 estÃgios, e para o dessalinizador Tipo B, 3,50 L com 3 estÃgios. Verificou-se que a eficiÃncia do dessalinizador Tipo A era superior ao do Tipo B, o que se explica por o Tipo B ter uma resistÃncia a transferÃncia de calor a mais. Por outro lado, o protÃtipo Tipo B permite uma operaÃÃo continuada da torre de dessalinizaÃÃo, nÃo sendo necessÃrio a sua desmontagem apÃs cada esvaziamento da Ãgua na panela.

Abstract:
Sustainable energy solutions are necessary in developing nations as current food preparation practices are becoming harmful to the environment, economic development and the overall health of the population. The purpose of this study was to create a Scheffler reflector-based system prototype, experimentally analyze the system and to predict its behavior when subjected to the solar conditions of Rajasthan, India. Former designs from India, the University of Iowa and several other institutions were consulted during the formulation of the prototype design. While consulting a specific set of design constraints, pertinent to developing counties, a Scheffler reflector and tracking stand were fabricated. Solutions for a thermal storage unit were investigated for eventual integration with the prototype. Solar flux data for Iowa and India was used to predict the amount of energy transmitted by the reflector. Experiments were designed and completed to observe the temperatures experienced at the focal point of the reflector and estimate the energy stored by a steel mass. A series of sun angles, monthly solar flux data and experimental data were used to predict the performance of the storage unit, over a three day span, in Rajasthan. Aspects of the system were then modified to investigate their effects on the temperature of the storage unit.

Abstract:
A promising and novel solar concentrator design has been thoroughly investigated and optimised. A prototype concentrator based on this novel geometry was validated using ray tracing techniques. This ray tracing demonstrated the comparative performance of this novel concentrator in regards to equivalent parabolic dishes. The effect of mirror surface normal errors on performance was established using Monte-Carlo based ray tracing code, which agreed well with the optical performance of this prototype which was determined experimentally. A need for low-cost solar cookers to replace bio-mass worldwide was identified, and the concentrator design was then developed as a low-cost solar oven. Despite existing in some number, no current design is able to achieve high performance at low-cost. An industrial partner, Dytecna, was initially involved in the process of this development of the system as a solar cooker. In support of a field trial for the solar cooker developed with Dytecna, a detailed thermal model of the oven was developed. A low-cost lightmeter was constructed and calibrated in order to measure the direct normal irradiance during the field trial in Italy. Laboratory work provided baseline results for the heating of various thermal masses in the oven. The Italian field trials provided a wealth of feedback into the design of the system and many valuable results. The solar cooker was able to bring 0.75L of water to the boil in 33 minutes with an average heat throughput of 203W. Important benchmark results and practical experience of several competing receiver materials was obtained; further lab testing provided more accurate measurements of the receivers' performances. The experiences of the Italian field trial were fed back into the design of a subsequent prototype, intended for a much larger field trial in Tanzania. Improvements in the hotplate, receiver material, and the oven were all incorporated into the design. Additionally, the structure of the solar cooker was redesigned to incorporate a low-cost wooden construction. Supporting work was conducted for the month long trial in which 8 solar cookers would be distributed to families in Tanzania. The field trial in Tanzania provided a wealth of user feedback into the design. At the same time the new solar cooker exceeded previously established performances in Italy. The new design was able to provide an average of 246W of heat to 1kg of water, which was brought to boiling point in 25 minutes. This represents a heating efficiency of 66% compared to the incident solar flux on the hotplate. In response to findings during the Tanzanian trials, further laboratory work was conducted into establishing the reflectivities of low-cost candidate mirror materials. Throughout all phases of the project the design of the solar cooker was refined and improved with the goal of a solar cooker design that could reach price-point, performance, and usability standards which would ensure market success.

Abstract:
A evaluation of the conduction heat loss over their cover for four different solar cookers box-type (1. Square solar cooker with inner reflectors placed in right angles, 2. Square solar cooker with inner reflector placed in different angles, 3. Rectangular solar cooker with inner reflectors placed in different angles and 4. Octagonal solar cooker with inner reflectors placed in right angles) is presented. In the heating process in a solar cooker box-type, the conduction heat loss in their cover is the most important in comparative with convection and radiation losses. The cover in solar cookers is made with clear glasses, which allows the inlet solar radiation inside of it. When the heating process happen, the temperature in the cover glasses is important and is important for this part. To evaluate the magnitude for the heat loss, controlled tests were planned, where a solar radiation simulator was used as energy source over the solar cookers considered. In the experiments, thermocouples to determine the gradient temperature for thickness among glasses were placed. In this activity, a Compact Field and LabView software were used. Also, in the experimental tests, thermographic imagines for some instants during the heating process were taken. According results, the conduction heat losses are bigger than 25 % of the inlet energy Flux in the cookers. The biggest values for temperature on the glasses correspond to the solar cooker 3, while minimum values are obtained for the solar cooker 1. The solar cooker 1 present the biggest conduction heat losses and the cooker 4, has the minimum values for the losses. Results of this work can be useful and important for design proposes which could impacts on save of money and cooking time.

Abstract:
It is shown a mathematical model of a solar box cooker with multi-step inner reflector and the numerical results for two applications has been analyzed. These applications are 1. Numerical simulation of operation of solar box cooker with multi-step inner reflector in Tanta, Egypt and 2. Numerical simulation of solar box cooker with multi-step inner reflector for 10 hours of operation. In the case 1, is analyzed a solar box cooker constructed and evaluated in Tanta, Egypt [1]. The experimental results that was obtained are compared with the numerical results that was obtained for the mathematical model. The case 2, is an evaluation of numerical results that was obtained for the operation of 10 hours for solar box cooker constructed in the Laboratorio de Ingenieri´a Te´rmica e Hidra´ulica Aplicada (LABINTHAP) in Me´xico City. [4] The solar box cooker is integrated by a covert that was made with double glass, this is use with two purposes, reduce the loss heat convection with outer and to generated the greenhouse effect with inner of cooker. In the inner of cooker there are a mirrors arrangement in inclined position (inner reflectors) placed in angles of 30°, 45° and 75°, these helped to reflex the solar rays in direction to the cook recipient. The recipient also received the solar rays in the upper part (lid). The mathematical model that was obtained from energetic analysis, is formed for five differential equations system no linear and the fourth Runge-Kutta method is used to resolve it. The numerical solution of the equations system is obtained with a computational software in C++. This work is a contribution to the application of numerical methods and computational for development of the solar energy used in thermal conversion equipments. The use of these techniques to solve the mathematical model is important to contribute in the evaluation and design of solar box cookers with multi-step inner reflector.

Abstract:
In this work, four different arrangements of solar cooker box-type with internal reflectors results, for irreversibility and second law efficiency are presented. The solar cooker has two glasses in its cover to diminish the losses of heat radiation and convection, which in turn creates the hot house effect inside the cooker. The interior of the cooker has flat mirrors placed at different angles to reflect the solar radiation toward recipient with water. The obtained results are based on the heated water temperatures. These are obtained by means of numerical simulation, which in turn allows the comparison under identical conditions for the cookers. The results reveal that the energy reaching the cookers, less than 5%, is used in the water heating process. Most of the available energy is “stored” into the cooker glass cover, which shows the need for further work on improving cover materials in order to diminish such a situation.
