Abstract

This research presents a laboratory study of a box-type solar cooker for two types of pot materials. Under the climate conditions of Jaipur, experiments were carried out on a standard box-type solar cooker using steel and aluminum vessels, either with or without a load. It is estimated what the merit figure (F1 and F2) is. The obtained F1 values show that the cooker, when used with steel and aluminum containers, is of A quality. Energy and exertion analysis is the basis for performance evaluation. The solar-powered cooker with aluminum vessels has a greater energy and effectiveness than the solar oven with titanium dishes.

Keywords: Solar cookers, first figure of merit F1, second figure of merit F2, energy and exergy efficiency
