A number of parameters can be constrained for the design of our solar cooker using the information in this paper.
1. There is a significant difference in the internal temp of the cooker as the fiber glass insulation thickness is increased up to around 60mm after which the improvement in performance seems to be negligible.
2. The optimum number of reflective panels is two when those panels are angled at 120 and 60 degrees for summer and winter respectively.
3. Considerable improvement in the cooker performance is attained when the cooking pot diameter is increased. The best performance improvement is obtained when the ratio of the pot diameter and the cooker width is equal to unity that is to say that best performance is reached when the pot is as large as will fit in the cooker box. Cooking pot depth seems to be a negligible variable.
