Abstract:
The double glass cover analysis of a solar box cooker has been implemented in an internal heat transfer using MoS2-Fe2O3-Cr2O3 nanomaterials. A nanocomposite material's essential role is its higher surface/volume ratio which agrees in small area size of a high ductility without strength loss and an enhanced optical property. The nanocomposite materials have an average particle size of 0.2 - 0.5 μm. Compared to the overall thermal energy efficiency of the solar cookers used, the samples with and without this study's modification are 56.21-31.77% and 33.90-24.90%. The design used nanomaterials' performance with and without coating materials achieved by the bar plate temperature of about 163.74 °C and 113.34 °C below solar radiation of 1037W/m2. The simulation model is conducted on the fuzzy intelligent logic and Cramer's rules. It agreed with the experimental results by 91%.

Mechanisms of Heat Transfer
Conduction, accounting for approximately 3% of body heat loss at rest, is the process of exchanging heat between molecules of two materials in direct contact. This can result in both heat loss and gain. For instance, when the body is submerged in water, which conducts heat 20 times more effectively than air, it can either lose or gain significant...
