Experimental Investigation Of A Solar Parabolic Trough Cooker

A particular solar cooker namely the parabolic trough solar cooker (low concentration) called "blazing tube" is studied in the present work. It is about determining experimentally its performances. Several tests were conducted, tests while empty, water heating, frying tests and rice cooking. In these tests, temperature readings of the various components were also carried out. The cooking time of certain dishes has also been determined. It emerges from these experiments that the outlet temperature of the fluid depends on the sun and is close to 200 ° C in good weather conditions. The device can be used all day as needed, even in slightly unfavorable times.
