This document discusses solar cookers as an alternative energy source for cooking. It notes that solar energy is available everywhere and cheap, while fuels like LPG and kerosene are costly. The document then describes a solar reflector box type solar cooker that can both cook food and store heat energy whenever sunlight is available. It has advantages like fuel savings, faster cooking, and producing no smoke or risk of accidents compared to other cooking methods. However, its effectiveness is reduced during rainy seasons and it requires adjustment based on the sun's position.

1. SOLAR COOKER
ABSTRACT:
No being can live without food. To cook the food heat energy is required. Now a day to
get heat energy, liquefied petroleum gas, Kerosene etc. are being used as fuel. These
fuels are costly. Solar energy can be used to cook food. Solar energy is available almost
every where and very cheap also. Solar reflector box type solar cooker is used to cook
food efficiently. This type of cooker is very much useful in rural areas where LPG or
kerosene is hardly available and wood is the fuel.The solar reflector box type solar
cooker is designed and fabricated in such a way that it can be used for cooking as well as
storing heat energy. This type of solar cooker can be used every provided sun light is
available. This cooker can be used for a long time and the cost involved in
manufacturing this cooker is low.
SCOPE OF THE PROJECT:
Sun is the primary source of energy and all forms of energy on the earth are derived
from it. Everything in this universe is related to energy. Man use energy for every
action even when he sleeps. The magnitude of consumption of energy by man has been
increasing as rate of utilization has been increasing as rate of utilization has progressed.
The energy is essential in the world for
Domestic activities
Agricultural operations
Lighting and water supply
Industry etc.

2. Living standard of any country is measured through practical energy consumption of its
population. The sources of energy are water, nuclear, soils petrol, soils, petrol, Diesel,
etc.
WORKING PRINCIPLE
Now energy will be available only at higher setting a new challenge of unknown
proportions. The increases are only of population but also of per capital consumption of
energy not only in the developed countries but also in the developing and under
developed countries. The drastic price hike for petrol has made it clear to everyone that
there are limits to the availability of these sources of energy. Therefore efforts have been
increased in the search and utilization of other sources of energy.
The energy is converted into two sections
Conventional energy
Non conventional energy
In the conventional energy the power can be generated by the ways. They are,
With the use of water (Thermal energy)
With the use of nuclear (Thermal energy)
The thermal energy requires more cost for construction and maintenance. The
more amount of power can be generated in the rainy station. It can be applied
where more water supplies are available.
In the nuclear energy conversion more initial cost is needed. More power can
be generated. It cant be established in the thickly populated areas. Nuclear
energy generation is dangerous for human beings.
3. ADVANTAGES
1. Fuel can be saved using solar cooker
2. Using this cooker then that of the using single reflective cooker saves 45% of the time for
cooking
3. Since we know cooking item for each item. So we need not wait near the cooker, until the
process of cooking is completed.
4. No smoke is produced
5. No risk of accidents
6. By using double reflector more rays are reflected on the transparent glass than that of
single reflected cooker
7. As in the box type solar cooker, the container is closed, so no heat is loosed and cooking is
done quickly than the dish type solar cooker.
DISADVANTAGES
1. During rainy season the effective will become low
2. It should be adjusted at regular interval with respect to the angle of incidence.
