Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Solar energy technologies are upgrading day by day in every sunshine-rich region around the globe. These technologies provide a strong platform for humans for high-demand activities like cooking, air heating, power generation, etc. Among these activities, solar cooking is much popular due to daily cooking needs. Different designs of solar cookers are available in the market according to the family size. In the present work, the designs of some commonly used solar cookers and their thermal performance evaluation have been discussed. Heat transfer analysis shows that cookers with some potential heat storage materials are better than conventional solar cookers. The design of such cookers is feasible to cook efficiently for long hours, even during off sunshine hours (for a limited period).
