Modelling of a Solar Stove: Small Scale Concentrating System With Heat Storage: Potential For Cooking In Rural Areas, Zimbabwe

Abstract

The central objective of the present research is to serve as an in-depth technical introduction to small-scale concentrating systems tailored for application especially in rural areas in Africa located outside the national electricity grids. For example, MScand doctoral-students recently matriculated on NUFU-sponsership at some universities in Africa (i.e Mozambique, Uganda, Tanzania, South Africa and Ethiopia) for research in solar-concentrator technologies will find most of the material in this work quite useful.
