DEVELOPMENT OF SOLAR COOKER USING PARABOLIC REFLECTORS
Abstract
For cooking we generally make use of gas which is a commercial source. Solar energy is a renewable and non-commercial source which is adequately available for usage. So the idea of making use of solar energy to cook brought the existence of solar cookers. But the main problem with the model with it is, it is not effective during day start and end because rays cannot incident completely over it. So it takes more time to cook. So to overcome this issue, usage of a parabolic reflector is the solution where the incident rays meet at the focus which generate more heat and results in faster cooking that saves time.
