Simulation to Design Indonesian Solar Cooker Type HS Using the Energy Profiles Information

Publisher Summary Simulation is essentially a numerical experiment that is done by altering certain design parameters to find out the possible improvement of a solar cooker box type and to predict the performance of a new design. The chapter describes a simulation to develop the design of Indonesian solar box cooker. The assumptions used and the physical considerations in designing are also discussed in the chapter. Simulations can generally produce information about effects of design-variable changes on system performance in relatively quick and inexpensive way. However, the physical experiment gives information that cannot be generated by this simulation such as a liquid droplet and a leakage at the glue because of the excessive heat. The numerical experiment indicates that the efficiency of the cooker can be further improved.
