In this paper, a thorough review of the available literature on solar cookers is presented. The
review is performed in a thematic way in order to allow an easier comparison, discussion …

Presently fossil sources still dominate the domestic sector, which is the largest primary
energy-consuming sector across the globe. Energy for cooking is considered to be the most …

This article demonstrates the feasibility of using a phase change material (PCM) in a solar
stove for storing energy. The PCM is a material that is able of absorbing and liberating great …

The utilization of biomass for cooking and heating is old, occurring from the early stages of
human evolution because of its wide and easy availability. In Asia, a majority of the …

This article reviews the cookstove modeling literature for one-to three-burner natural draft,
wood-fired cookstoves fueled with solid unprocessed biomass ranging in size from 1 to 20 …

In this work, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-assisted optimization study has been
carried out, implementing geometric design modifications in a biomass cook stove (BCS) to …

Rice is an important source of food for a major portion of the world's population, with a
production capacity of about 700 MTPA. Thus efforts are being made continuously to …

To study and analyze the performance of a Flat bottom Institutional Cookstove, a water
boiling test experiment was used to test for the stove's power and efficiency followed by a …

This paper deals with experimental and numerical investigation on thermal stratification
phenomenon conducted in a scaled transparent pool using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) …

Heat transfer by natural convection in a cavity is encountered in various industrial
