โฆ Synopsis
Thermal performance of a parabolloid concentrator solar cooker depends greatly on the wind speed. Experiments have been conducted to study the effect of wind speed on heat loss parameter F'U L and hence on thermal performance of the cooker under simulated wind conditions. Correlations have been developed to express the F' UL as a function of wind speed and pot water temperature. Heating characteristic curves have been also developed with the variable values of F'UL and compared with those obtained from constant F'UI.
