Performance evaluation of solar cooker with tracking type bottom reflector retrofitted with a novel design of thermal storage incorporated absorber plate

M. A. Tawfik et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the thermal performance of a solar cooker with integrated thermal energy storage. By retrofitting a bottom parabolic reflector and integrating thermal storage, the performance of the solar cooker is improved. Tests show that the cooker with the parabolic reflector reaches the desired cooking temperature in a shorter time and retains heat until the evening. Economic analysis of the cooker reveals that the cost is comparable to conventional cookers, but with additional advantages.
