Nanocomposite implementation with Solar box model cooker using flexible thermography

Abstract

In this study, three SBCs are created: a phase change material (PCM)-containing SBC (made of used cooking oil and C4H4O3), a novel SBC (NPCM)-containing SBC, and an SBC without NPCM. Fuzzy logic, Cramer's rules, and image processing techniques were used to experimentally create and assess the performance of the unique suggested cooker integrated with NPCM (MgAl2O4/Ni/Fe2O3-PCM). Additionally, under solar radiation of 1,037 W/m2, the temperatures of the bar plate absorber were 163.74 °C, 147 °C, and 113.34 °C, respectively.
