Solar Kitchen

The present research focuses on solar kitchens. It is an optical system to provide concentrated solar radiation, the concentrated energy of sunlight can be used to calendar or cook food. Solar kitchens use the thermal conversion of solar radiation to generate heat and thus, heat or produce distilled water. The temperature reached inside the container depends on the amount of solar radiation that enters through the glass, as well as the level of thermal insulation that has. Nowadays, the overexploitation of fuels that at the time of transforming into energy releases emissions into the atmosphere have caused serious problems to the environment, the main one is produced by humans, it originates in the combustion of hydrocarbons as oil and its derivatives coal, firewood and natural gas. The main objective of this research will be to focus on the use of renewable energy obtained from the use of solar radiation, the benefits of using solar cookers are as follows: (renewable, inexhaustible, not contaminating, avoid global warming and reduces the use of fossil fuels). To support this research, a model of a solar cooker was built. In addition to having a common and easy to use design, a temperature sensor (thermocouple) connected to an Arduino card was added and together they will provide us with the amount of heat generated inside the container that we can see on an LCD screen.
