Exergy Analysis of a Multiple Reflector Solar Box Cooker

Abstract

This paper presents the exergy analysis of a typical multiple reflector solar box cooker. The fabricated cooker having multiple reflectors experimented in the summer day period at the premises of the University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria. Thermodynamics analysis was conducted to obtain performance evaluation of the cooker through applications of energy and exergy equations at ambient temperature. The results obtained show an increase in the exergy efficiency of the cookers concerning an increase in the number of reflectors used in construction.
