Abstract
Abstract: In this study, the effects of using different heat transfer fluids on the energy and exergy efficiencies of a new indirect solar cooker are experimentally investigated. The studied heat transfer fluids are thermal oil and three thermal oil-based nanofluids including SiO2-oil, TiO2-oil, and SiC-oil with 0.5 wt%. In this research, the performance of the solar collector and cooking unit, as the two main sections of the indirect solar cooker, is also evaluated from the energy and exergy viewpoints.
