In this paper thermal performance test experiments for first figure of merit (without load) and second figure of merit (with load) of a box‐type solar cooker were conducted as per Bureau of Indian Standards. The values of second figure of merit (F2) were determined for different loads of water and the results show that F2 depends on the quantity of water loaded in a solar cooker. Therefore, it is recommended that the performance test method should specify the amount of water which is to be taken. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The performance of a masonry animal feed solar cooker was evaluated in terms of energy and exergy. It is a low-cost cooker made of cement, bricks, glass covers and a mild steel absorber plate. The energy and exergy efficiencies of the animal feed solar cooker were experimentally evaluated. The energy output of this cooker ranges from 1.89 to 49.4 kJ, whereas the exergy output ranges from 0.11 to 2.72 kJ during the same time interval. The energy efficiency of the cooker varies between 1.12% and 29.78%, while the exergy efficiency varies between 0.07% and 1.52 % during the same period. 相似文献

This paper presents the fabrication details and on-field experimental studies of two novel solar cookers, suitable for cooking requirements of small families; these are named as small family solar cookers (SFSC-1 and SFSC-2). Small size, good thermal performance, light weight, low-cost and short payback periods are some important features of these cookers. The values of some essential thermal performance parameters, first figure of merit (F1), second figure of merit (F2) and standard cooking power suggested by Bureau of Indian Standards and International Standard for box-type solar cookers, have been evaluated by experimental studies and found to be 0.116°C m2/W, 0.466, 30 W and 0.118°C m2/W, 0.488, 50 W for SFSC-1 and SFSC-2, respectively. A comparative analysis of the thermal performances of SFSCs with the solar cookers, developed by many authors, has also been presented here. The payback periods with respect to different cooking fuels for SFSCs have been found to be reasonably short. 相似文献

In this paper, we develop a solar exergy map concept and conduct a comprehensive case study to show how it is utilized and how it is significant for practical solar applications. Based on the exergy content of the solar radiation, the performance of a photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) system is evaluated for different Indian cities, namely Bangalore (latitude 12°58′N, longitude 77°38′E), Jodhpur (latitude 26°18′N, longitude 73°04′E), Mumbai (latitude 18°55′N, longitude 72°54′E), New Delhi (latitude 28°35′N, longitude 77°12′E) and Srinagar (latitude 34°08′N, longitude 74°51′E) for a year and for different cities of U.S.A., namely Chicago (latitude 41°50′N, longitude 87°37′W), Las Vegas (latitude 36°10′N, longitude 115°12′W), Miami (latitude 25°46′N, longitude 80°12′W), New York (latitude 40°47′N, longitude 73°58′E), Portland (latitude 43°40′N, longitude 70°15′W), San Antonio (latitude 29°23′N, longitude 98°33′W), San Francisco (latitude 37°47′N, longitude 122°26′W), Tucson (latitude 32°7′N, longitude 110°56′W) and Tulsa (latitude 36°09′N, longitude 95°59′W) for different months of January, April, June and October. For the first time, the development of exergy maps for the exergy of solar radiation as well as the exergy efficiency of PV/T system is done for the above‐mentioned Indian and American climatic conditions. It is found that the predicted exergy efficiency is in good agreement with the experimental results for the climatic conditions of New Delhi, India. It is observed that the average exergy efficiency is highest in Bangalore from January (28%) to April (32.6%) and from September (32.5%) to December (32.4%) and it is highest in Srinagar from May (29.5%) to August (26.8%) for Indian climatic conditions and for American climatic conditions, the PV/T system gives the best performance in terms of exergy efficiency in Las Vegas (32%) and Tucson (32.5–31.5%) in April and June.

This paper introduces a new concept of Optimum Load Range (OLR) for solar cookers. OLR gives the load values for which cooker preferably shows good thermal as well as good cooking performance; it may be considered a crucial parameter for solar cookers. This OLR concept is based on the dependence of rate of rise of load temperature on different heat transfer processes between load and cooker interior. This concept illustrates solar cooking in two simple steps. The total time required to complete these steps puts an essential constraint for cooking of any load amount. The maximum value of load (upper limit of OLR) till which cooker shows satisfactory cooking may be determined from this constraint. This constraint requires determination of two OLR parameters which are tstep I and tstep II. The load for which cooker remain almost 30% efficient, may be referred as lower limit (minimum value) of OLR. For the verification of OLR, experimental studies have been conducted with a solar cooker named SFSC. The OLR parameters along with different thermal performance parameters (TPPs) (second figure of merit (F2), utilization efficiency (ηu) etc.) suggested by different researches for solar cookers in water load condition have been computed from the measured thermal profiles of different loads (0.8–3.0 kg). From the curve analysis of different TPPs with load, the existence of upper limit of OLR is observed. The values of rate of rise of load temperature at water temperatures 80, 85 and 90 °C for different loads also confirm the same. The OLR of SFSC is found to be 1.2–1.6 kg. 相似文献

The determination of sky temperature assumes great importance in engineering applications such as radiative cooling of buildings. Many studies that involve a radiative exchange with the sky employ different reported models of sky temperature interchangeably. However, until now, hardly any systematic study has been done to quantify the errors/variations that might be encountered in calculating this radiative exchange employing these different correlations. In the current paper, first, a thorough analysis has been presented on the sky temperature correlations and a possible range of variation in sky temperature based on the estimation of sky emissivity is computed. Both diurnal‐nocturnal variation in sky temperature and seasonal disparities in sky temperature have been reported. Next, the case of a box‐type solar cooker has been taken up for investigation with respect to the possible influence of the sky temperature estimation in predicting its performance parameter, first‐figure‐of‐merit on a daily, seasonal, and climatic basis. Our observations show an enormous difference in sky temperature depending upon the expressions of emissivity from which it is derived. The variability of sky temperature has a nominal influence on the prediction of first‐figure‐of‐merit, although a marked discrepancy is observed across the seasons at the same location. 相似文献

This work focuses on the structure, working, and testing of a new mixed solar cooker using a linear Fresnel collector, evacuated tube and box-type cooker. The low-cost components used in the construction of this cooker can help it satisfy the needs of both urban and rural inhabitants who need steady cooking temperatures above 140°C. A family of five can prepare four meals using this modified solar cooker, which costs about $250. The designed solar cooker was tested by conducting no-load and full-load tests. For the no-load test, the maximum temperature of the absorber plate and oil for the new mixed cooker was recorded as 160.26°C and 172.72°C, respectively. The absorber plate of the new mixed cooker and its oil both reached their highest temperatures during the full-load test at 141.14°C and 157°C, respectively. The energy efficiency of the new cooker is 58.776%, while its exergy efficiency is 13%. The heat transfer coefficient increased to 100.16 W/m² °C. This cooker provides an additional time savings of 60 min. An improvement of 27.5% in the highest temperature reached was seen when the developed cooker's performance was compared with those reported in the literature. Additionally, the new cooker's heat-storing capability enables up to 3 h of autonomy. The Levelized Cost of Cooking a Meal for the innovative mixed solar cooker is $0.034 per meal. 相似文献

In this experimental study, solar energy was stored daily using the volcanic material with the sensible heat technique. The external heat collection unit consisted of 27 m2 of south‐facing solar air collectors mounted at a 55° tilt angle. The dimensions of the packed‐bed heat storage unit were 6 × 2 × 0.6 m deep. The packed‐bed heat storage unit was built under the soil. The heat storage unit was filled with 6480 kg of volcanic material. Energy and exergy analyses were applied in order to evaluate the system efficiency. During the charging periods, the average daily rates of thermal energy and exergy stored in the heat storage unit were 1242 and 36.33 W, respectively. Since the rate of exergy depends on the temperature of the heat transfer fluid and surrounding, the rate of exergy increased as the difference between the inlet and outlet temperatures of the heat transfer fluid increased during the charging periods. It was found that the average daily net energy and exergy efficiencies in the charging periods were 39.7 and 2.03%, respectively. The average daily net energy efficiency of the heat storage system remained nearly constant during the charging periods. The maximum energy and exergy efficiencies of the heat storage system were 52.9 and 4.9%, respectively. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Developing a test standard/protocol for solar box type cookers has drawn a considerable interest among the researchers throughout the world. Recent publications on solar cookers emphasize the need of introducing the thermal performance indicators determined through exergy analysis. In the present paper, the time variation of instantaneous exergy output and energy output as function of its temperature and also of the instantaneous ambient temperature have been reported for truncated pyramid type solar box cooker and compared with those of box type cooker. Further, variations in the exergy lost with temperature difference have been depicted for the selected water temperature range from 60 °C to 95 °C. Based on this study, quality factor, exergy temperature difference gap product, and heat loss coefficient are determined and are proposed as benchmark parameters of solar cooker’s thermal performance. 相似文献

An expression for instantaneous exergy efficiency of a passive solar still has been developed. The effect of design, operational and climatic parameters, namely effective absorptivity of basin liner (0.9–0.6), glass cover tilt (15–45°) and wind velocity (0.0–10 m/s) have been taken into account. It is found that with decrease in absorptivity (0.9–0.6) with time, the energetic and exergetic efficiencies decrease by 21.8% and 36.7% respectively. The effect of glass cover tilt is found to be insignificant and the respective efficiencies decrease by 0.75% and 0.47% per degree increase in tilt. These efficiencies increase rapidly up to a wind velocity of 2 m/s. 相似文献

This paper presents the analytical study of flat plate collector based on the computer‐based thermal models considering two different cases, case A (fully covered by glass) and case B (fully covered by photovoltaic (PV) module). These models are developed based on energy balance equations. An analytical expression for characteristic equation for photovoltaic–thermal flat plate collector has been derived as a function of design and climatic parameters. This paper shows the detailed analysis of energy, exergy and electrical energy by varying the number of collectors by considering four weather conditions (A, B, C and D type) for five different cities (New Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Srinagar and Jodhpur) of India. It is observed that the collectors fully covered by PV module combine the production of hot water in addition to electricity generation and it is beneficial in terms of exergy, thermal energy and electrical energy gain.

This communication presents an experimental study based on energy and exergy analyses of a typical solar air dryer. On the basis of the experimental results, the first and the second law efficiencies are calculated with respect to the available solar radiation. It is found that the second law efficiency is much less than the first law efficiency irrespective of the mass flow rate of the circulating fluid. It is also found that both efficiencies are an increasing function with respect to the mass flow rate of the working fluid. For a particular day, it is also found that first and second law efficiencies fluctuate according to radiation. The results obtained in this article are found to be consistent with those obtained by earlier authors as given in the literature. 相似文献

In this paper, the exergy interactions, environmental impact in terms of CO2 mitigation, and the economics of small‐capacity concentrated solar power‐driven heat engines for power and heat generation are analysed for residential applications. Starting from a base case study that assumes mass production in Ontario, it is shown that the investment in such a system, making use of a heat engine and having 9 m2 of aperture area, could be about CN$10 000 for a peak electrical efficiency of 18% and thermal efficiency of 75%. The average CO2 mitigation due to combined savings in electricity and heat is ～0.3 kgCO2 kWh?1, a figure 3–4 times larger than for photovoltaic panels. If 25% government subsidy to the investment is provided, the payback period becomes 21.6 years. Additionally, if the financing benefits from a feed‐in‐tariff program (at 25% electrical sell‐back to the grid) and deductions from CO2 tax are realized, then the payback time drops to 11.3 years. These results are obtained for a conservative scenario of 5.5% annual incremental increase in energy price. For the moderate consideration of all factors, it is shown that within the financial savings over the entire lifecycle, 7% are due to carbon tax, 30% are due to electrical production and the largest amount, 63%, is the result of reducing the natural gas heating capacity with solar heating from the proposed system.

This paper presents an experimental investigation of the thermal performance of a solar air heater having its flow channel packed with Raschig rings. The packing improves the heat transfer from the plate to the air flow underneath. The dimensions of the heater are 0.9 m wide and 1.9 m long. The aluminium‐based absorber plate was coated with ordinary black paint. The characteristic diameter of the Raschig rings, made of black polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tube, is 50 mm and the depth of the packed‐bed in flow channel is 60 mm. Energy and exergy analyses were applied for evaluating the efficiency of the packed‐bed solar air heater. The rate of heat recovered from the packed‐bed solar air heater varied between 9.3 and 151.5 W m?2, while the rate of thermal exergy recovered from the packed‐bed solar air heater varied between 0.04 and 8.77 W m?2 during the charging period. The net energy efficiency varied from 2.05 to 33.78%, whereas the net exergy efficiency ranged from 0.01 to 2.16%. It was found that the average daily net energy and exergy efficiencies were 17.51 and 0.91%, respectively. The energy and exergy efficiencies of the packed‐bed solar air heater increased as the outlet temperature of heat transfer fluid increased. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

In the current study, a solar tower–based energy system integrated with a thermal energy storage option is offered to supply both the electricity and freshwater through distillation and reverse osmosis technologies. A high‐temperature thermal energy storage subsystem using molten salt is considered for the effective and efficient operation of the integrated system. The molten salt is heated up to 565°C through passing the solar tower. The thermal energy storage tanks are designed to store heat up to 12 hours. The temperature variations in the storage tanks are studied and compared accordingly for evaluation. The effect of operating temperatures on the freshwater production and overall system efficiency is determined. About 24.46 MW electricity is generated in the steam turbine under sunny conditions. Furthermore, the storage subsystem stores heat during sunny hours to utilize later in cloudy hours and night time. The produced power decreases to 20.17 MW in discharging hours due to temperature decrease in the tank. The electricity generated by the system is then used to produce freshwater through the reverse osmosis units and also to supply electricity for the residential use. A total flowrate of 240.02 kg/s freshwater is obtained by distillation and reverse osmosis subsystems. 相似文献

The main objective of this study is to develop and improve the thermal and radiative performance of solar cookers. A solar cooker has been designed, constructed and experimentally analyzed to achieve this goal. The designed system contains three narrow, adjustable flat mirrors that are mounted on a parabolic curved substrate in order to concentrate the reflected solar beam onto the absorber plate. The efficiency of this system depends on many variables that were kept fixed with the exception of the parabolic mirror position and operation time. The response surface method was used as the basis of the design and analysis of the experiments. The analysis of the results provided the mathematical function of the effective and overall efficiencies based on the experimental variables that can be adopted to optimize the mirror positions at any given time. As a result, a new system was developed with adjustable mirrors that yields 32.07% and 35.5% increase in the effective and overall efficiencies, respectively. The results have been validated by variance analysis and comparing theoretical and experimental efficiency. The experiments were carried out in Mashhad, Iran at latitude 37, longitude 54, and a height of 985 m above sea level. 相似文献
