Abstract
This study is aimed at developing a box type solar cooker to be used in an industrialized area. The project has been critically evaluated from the local user's point of view. Important factors have been identified to analyse the design and performance of the solar cooker based on heat transfer analysis. A series of tests are carried to find out the effect of various parameters on efficiency. The material properties of the components like absortptivity and emissivity influence the efficiency of the solar cooker. The two figure of merit F1 and F2 have been obtained and the results are used for comparison with other design of box type solar cooker. The results obtained verified the acceptability of this model. Both F1 and F2 value increases with increase in the temperature of the collector. The effectiveness increases with the increase in the value of figure of merit.
