Abstract

The thermal properties of selective absorber coating of a spiral concentrating type solar cooker has been analysed. Coating has been prepared using smoke. Even though the common type of solar cookers have been used for thermal analysis, the concentrating type solar cooker showed a better result to obtain very high temperatures. Investigations have been done with smoke which is readily available in Villages and cost effective. Various thermal parameters such as standard cooking power and overall efficiency have been calculated in this Study. Aluminium vessels with smoke coating has been used in this study which has been compared with the performance of Aluminium absorbers, coated with lamp black and black primer paint. The cost effective, readily available smoke was found to be a better solar selective coating which is suitable for villagers.
