ABSTRACT DESIGN and FORMULATION

Cooking is the major necessity for people all over the world. It accounts for a major share of
energy consumption in developing countries. Therefore, solar cookers are recommended to Heat Transfer Coefficient between two tubes:Cost Analysis:-
be used in the domestic sector in these countries. The advantages of the use of solar
cookers would result in the reduction of the release of CO2 in the environment also will
reduce the cost of energy 2 Keff

CONCLUSIONS
 Our project (Evacuated Tube Solar Cooker) is the most efficient and less costly solar cooker
and has shown a great potential to lead the solar energy industries , ETSC has been compared
with different type of solar cookers (box solar cooker) , and it presents outstanding performance
due to the unique design and the used materials for construction :
Evacuated tube has shown great incensement in the efficiency by 24% and more sun rays are
absorbed due to the coated parabolic reflectors. The ability to reflect 80% of Sun rays which is
considered high percentage. More heat is kept inside the pipe for longer period of time caused by
Evacuated tube which results to extend cooking time despite the preset of the Sun.
 The ETSC is so efficient that it could cook chicken within an average time of 55 minutes , and

at different intervals for starting time 9 am ,12 pm and 3 pm
Average Cooking Time - 58 minutes
Due to the parabolic reflectors and folding mechanism, we achieved totally Portable and
compatible device. Mounting system is added to collect sun rays from multiple angles. The
REFERENCES rotation facility provided for the entire unit helps track sun and position the unit in the direction of
the sun thus boosting efficiency and reducing cooking time
 Solar Energy by J.K Nayak & Heat and Mass Transfer by R.K Rajput were referred for designing the tube and the reflector.
