Abstract

Solar energy is the most abundant (1.8×10^11MW) and important non-conventional source of energy because of its non-polluting nature. Solar energy is the simplest, most secure and most convenient way for large kitchens such as community mess for steam cooking applications. High temperature and high thermal efficiency are the main requirements of a concentrated solar technology. This concentrated solar technology can attain a temperature up to 450-600°C. This paper finds the feasibility of solar steam cooking in Institute canteen by using Scheffler reflector. In this solar steam cooking system, a total of 4 dishes of 16 sq. meters Scheffler reflector will be used for cooking food for 500 people every day conveniently by generating 230 kg/day steam. The system cooks the major part of lunch and dinner between 10.00 a.m. and 05.00 p.m. based on the availability of the solar radiation (240 days in a year). The quantity of saved fuel could be equal to 19 kg of LPG/day. Thus, this paper reveals the feasibility study of a solar steam cooking using Scheffler dishes at Institute canteen.
