Abstract

To evaluate performance of concentrating solar cookers, we have designed and constructed parabolic solar cooker. Tests are carried out to define the performance characteristic of concentrating cookers under the ambient conditions. Performance and test of solar cooker were followed the international standard procedure that was proposed at the Third World Conference on solar cooking Stagnation temperature and water heating test are carried out to determine the maximum temperature attained by cooker and evaluate the thermal performance of the cooker, respectively.
