ENERGY and EXERGY
The energy gained by water in the vessel, kept inside the cooker, due
to rise in temperature can be considered as the output energy (Eo) of
the system and is mathematically given as

Eo

mcp (Tfi Tii )

The expression is only dependent on initial and final value of
temperatures and says nothing about the ambient temperature.

DISCUSSION
Performance parameters (i.e. F2 and
Standardized
cooking
power
etc.)
determined through energy based approach
are more dependent on initial water
temperature and other ambient conditions
whereas performance indicators i.e. adjusted
quality factor etc. are almost independent of
the mass, ambient and initial load variations on

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION


An exergy based analysis is applied to solar cookers of different
designs based on the experimental data available and values of
proposed parameters are calculated for them.



Performance evaluation and test standards of solar cookers of
different geometries are discussed.



A unified test standard for solar cookers is proposed and
presented.
To establish a test standard for different types of solar
cookers, one may require more comprehensive testing and
data analysis. However, the proposed parameters may
stimulate the discussion and strengthen the case for exergy

OUR APPROACH-EXERGY BASED APPROACH:
Exergy as defined by Szargut as follows:

Exergy of matter is the maximum work the matter could perform in
a reversible process in which the environment is used as the source
of worthless heat and worthless substances, if at the end of the
process all the forms of participating matter reach the state of
thermodynamic equilibrium with the common components of the
environment.

Accounts for:
 Temperatures of energy transfer
 Quantity of energy transfer
12/10/2013

26

Parameters
Peak exergy is the highest/maximum exergy output
power obtained through curve fitting by plotting the
graph between exergy output power and temperature
difference. This can be realistically considered as a
measure of its fuel ratings.
 The ratio of the peak exergy gained to the exergy lost at
that instant of time can be considered as the quality
factor of the solar cooker. A higher quality factor is
always desirable.
 The product of the temperature difference gap
corresponding to the half power points and the peak
exergy power can also considered to be another
benchmark indicator in this kind of analysis. Higher
temperature difference gap means the lesser heat
losses from the cooker.

Cooker comparison


The cooker which attains higher exergy at higher
temperature difference is the better one. It has been
also noticed that the variation in the exergy lost with
temperature difference is more linear when temperature
of water varies in the range of 60oC to 95oC (see Fig.
2, 4, 6, 8). This range of temperature is also generally
used in calculation/determination of F2 (second figure of
merit), which is an important and well known
performance indicator for SBC [1, 12]. The amount of
heat energy at higher temperature is more valuable
than the same amount of heat energy at lower
temperature and in energy analysis it is not possible to
take into account such qualitative difference. The
exergy analysis is a more complete synthesis tool
because it account for the temperatures associated with
energy transfers to and from the cooker, as well as the
quantities of energy transferred, and consequently
provides a measure of how nearly the cooker
approaches ideal efficiency.
