Análise do desempenho térmico de um forno solar para assamento de alimentos fabricado a partir de tambor de polietileno

Abstract

With population growth and the need for increased energy consumption in Brazil and worldwide, it is clear the importance of using renewable energies as taken to meet this demand. Thinking that, the studies from renewable sources such as solar power is an option to resolve such problems. The project has been exposed as an alternative to overcome this problem with the use of focused energy to cook food and decrease the use of sources that pollute the environment with carbon dioxide generation focusing on the secondary does not increase deforestation, desertification, both of which originate from the use of wood and fossil fuels as an energy source. For both two prototypes were fabricated for comparison, both being made with polyethylene drums featuring as an active reuse or recycling, since the same would be deposited in the environment. The ovens were tested to yield the baking of some foods conventionally prepared in conventional gas ovens. In more efficient prototypes temperature of the absorber reached 120.8 ° C. The baking times for such foods were higher than those obtained with the conventional gas oven, but competitive with other solar ovens shown by solar literature for baking food.
