Abstract

AbstractThe use of fossil fuel and wood for cooking poses health, environmental, and economic challenges, especially with the growing population. This has led to an increase in the trend towards the use of clean and sustainable cooking sources, including solar cookers. This experimental study aims to contribute by enhancing the performance of a solar box cooker (SBC) according to the concept of porous media via adding steel fibers inside the box as a modified SBC and comparing it with a conventional SBC. The stagnation test to determine the first figure of merit and the load test to determine the second figure of merit, standard boiling time, and cooker optothermal ratio were conducted under the outdoor conditions of Baghdad city. Also, an energy and exergy efficiency analysis, and calculating the rate of heat loss by three water loads heating and cooling tests. The results revealed that the modified SBC has a higher thermal performance than the conventional SBC.
