Abstract
AbstractThe limitations of fossils fuel are well known to all. It is necessary to find an alternative solution for fossil fuels. Renewable energy is always a ray of hope for a researcher as well as humankind. Solar cooking may be a small but very important contribution to saving conventional fuels. There are many solar cookers available in the market. Existing solar cookers have some drawbacks. The main concern of its performance, cost and availability for all time has been the focused points of this research. It has been found from the literature survey that low cost and efficient reflective material is very necessary for solar cookers. The performance of solar cooker is affected due to dust accumulation on reflector surface. In this paper, the parabolic solar cooker is analyzed by applying different reflective materials with the effect of dust. Anodized aluminum sheet, aluminum foil, silver-coated LDPE foil and polished aluminum sheets are used as reflective materials for the solar cookers. All these materials are available in almost all cities of India.KeywordsSolar cookerReflective materialsParabolic dishPerformanceEffect of dust
