The Allahabad Farmer Vol. LXVIII, January - 2013 No. 2Comparison between Two Models <strong>of</strong> Solar Cooker byUs<strong>in</strong>g Different Parameters Time and Temperature<strong>in</strong> Roast<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> GroundnutsVerma Rekha* and Parvez Razia**ABSTRACTSolar energy has the greatest potential <strong>of</strong> all the sources <strong>of</strong> renewable energy.The power <strong>in</strong>tercepted from the sun is thousands times larger than the presentconsumption rate on the earth <strong>of</strong> all commercial energy sources (Sukhatme1999). The present study "Comparison between two models <strong>of</strong> solar cooker byus<strong>in</strong>g different parameters time and temperature <strong>in</strong> roast<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> groundnuts"was undertaken with the objective <strong>of</strong> to compare the identified models <strong>of</strong> solarcookers <strong>in</strong> three seasons (summer, w<strong>in</strong>ter and ra<strong>in</strong>y) and two metals (Alum<strong>in</strong>umand Sta<strong>in</strong>less steel) for different parameters time and temperature <strong>in</strong> roast<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong>groundnuts. The study was conducted at Department <strong>of</strong> Family ResourceManagement College <strong>of</strong> Home Science and Women's Development AllahabadAgricultural Institute-Deemed University Allahabad U.P. India dur<strong>in</strong>g Jan 2006to Jan 2009. Average sunsh<strong>in</strong>e hours 8.5 per day and sunny days about 250days/yr. Similar statement was given by MNES (2003) that the daily averagesolar energy <strong>in</strong>cident at many places ranges between five to seven kWH/m2 andthere were as many as 250 to 300 clear sunny days each year. It was concludedfrom the average time and temperature <strong>of</strong> both solar cooker models (BSC andPSC) gave better performance dur<strong>in</strong>g summer <strong>in</strong> comparison to other seasonsand also Al cook<strong>in</strong>g pots were best <strong>in</strong> roast<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> groundnuts. Better performance<strong>of</strong> Box solar cooker than Parabolic solar cooker <strong>in</strong> preparation <strong>of</strong> roast<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong>groundnuts.*Assistant Pr<strong>of</strong>essor, ** Associate Pr<strong>of</strong>essorFamily Resource Management, Ethel<strong>in</strong>d School <strong>of</strong> Home Science, SHIATS, Allahabad – 211007 (U.P.)30
