Abstract

This study presents the design and development aspects of 3.2 m2 small size parabolic reflector, used in domestic solar cooker for single family having four members. The study focused on design, proper material selection, and fabrication of reflector. The proposed reflector is based on Scheffler reflector. It was found that glass mirror has highest reflectivity and hence, is the best suitable material for reflector. Material for supporting frame is taken from scraps which reduces the cost of fabrication. Also, fabrication is simple and model is easy to transport from one place to another. The proposed model of the reflector is suitable for rural area applications and also doesn’t require skilled labor to fabricate.
