This paper presents a transient behaviour model for a single-glazed hot box type solar cooker which enables the temperatures of various elements of the cooker to be predicted. The experimental results conform well with the theoretically predicted values. In an attempt to establish a simple...

The temperature dependence of the overall heat-loss coefficient for flat-plate collectors has been studied by using stagnation measurements made with different configurations, viz., tilt 45 °s with single and double glazing and tilt 0 ° with single glazing. Comparisons have been made with...
