Experimental Investigation on Two Novel Standard Parameters to Improve The Performance of Solar Box Cookers
The size and shape of solar box cooker is determined by the volume of the vessel, which in turn depends on the number of family members. The primary objective of this study is to overcome the obstacles inhibiting researchers from crafting solar box cookers tailored to their specific research needs,...

| description | The size and shape of solar box cooker is determined by the volume of the vessel, which in turn depends on the number of family members. The primary objective of this study is to overcome the obstacles inhibiting researchers from crafting solar box cookers tailored to their specific research needs, as well as hindrances preventing manufacturers from effectively bringing them to market. This experimental study aims to identify two novel optimal volumetric efficiencies (VE1 and VE2) to minimize cooking time. To achieve this goal, we employed two identical solar box cookers made from the same materials and four vessels. The results obtained clearly show that the absorber temperature reached a maximum value of 124.9 °C and the boiling time was the shortest 02h50 when the first volumetric efficiency VE1 had the least value of 6.2% and the second volumetric efficiency VE2 had the greatest value of 100%. It is concluded that these two volumetric efficiencies could serve as benchmark parameters for future research, providing a standardized reference for developing solar box cookers of varied shapes and sizes under the same climatic conditions. |
