PERFORMANCE OF A BOX TYPE SOLAR COOKER ENHANCED WITH A BOOSTER MIRROR
Keywords:
Solar Cooker, Booster Mirror, Renewable Energy, Absorber Plate Temperature, Performance EnhancementAbstract
The development of renewable energy technologies, particularly solar energy, represents a further option on the way to improve the current energy situation in this regard, if the solar systems can be used to prepare food. This paper work towards improving the performance of a rectangular box type solar cooker with an addition of booster mirror. It was observed that the use of booster reflector mirror allows a gain by 12.8 % of the maximum temperature of absorber plate compared to when the cooker was used with single reflector.
