Question

What is the range of temperature which can be achieved in a box-type solarcooker in two to three hours?

Answer 1

Answer:

• When a box-type solar cooker is placed in sunlight for about two to three hours, it can reach a general temperature range of about $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $140^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$.
• As time increases, it can reach up to $200^{\circ} \mathrm{C}.$

• A box-type solar cooker is used to cook with the heat generated from direct sunlight.

• It essentially comprises an insulated metal box, reflector mirror, and a glass sheet.
• The metal box is insulated and painted black from inside to retain the heat. The reflector in the form of a plane mirror reflects the sunlight.
