摘要

This research provides a novel method for maximizing heat generation throughout the day by utilizing a Genetic Algorithm (GA) to optimize the sidewall inclination angles of a box-type solar cooker. This study expands on the foundational work by Vaidya et al. [12], where the sidewall angles were optimized for a fixed geometry. To maximize solar radiation capture, the sidewall angles are dynamically adjusted based on sun position at each hour of a given day. In this paper, we use Genetic Algorithm to find the ideal angles for each hour of sunshine, enhancing the thermal performance throughout the day using the same opto-geometrical concepts and heat transfer equations described in the cited research [2].
