Exergy optimization of domestic solar cylindrical-parabolic cooker
Solar parabolic cooker (SPC) is a simple and an inexpensive equipment which may be used extensively in domestic applications. However, as it is shown in this paper, the 1st law efficiency is very low and the 2nd law efficiency is even lower. For this reason, the performance optimization of cooker is necessary. This optimum performance may be achieved at a specific working temperature. In this paper, the optimization was performed on more than 400 different cases and a simple but useful correlation was proposed to determine the optimum working temperature. It is clear that this optimum temperature in turn, determines the cooker length or fluid mass flow rate.
