Coupling centrifuge drainage with microwave drying operation: description of cake desaturation before drying
Apaolaza-Pagoaga, Xabier; Valat, Marc; Ginisty, Pascal; Jomaa, Wahbi; Sommier, Alain (American Filtration & Separation Society, 2013-07-01)Centrifuge drainage is an operation which found main applications in pharmaceutical, chemical and textile industry. It is an efficient and economic process, and is frequently used before a thermal drying to eliminate most ... -
Experimental characterization of the thermal performance of the Haines 2 solar cooker
Apaolaza-Pagoaga, Xabier; Carrillo-Andrés, Antonio; Rodrigues-Ruivo, Celestino (Elsevier, 2022-10-15)This work presents the most exhaustive experimental characterization of the thermal performance of the Haines 2 solar cooker available to date. Two Haines 2 solar cookers were tested side-by-side in Malaga, Spain, 36.7°N, ... -
Experimental determination of the standardised power of a solar funnel cooker for low sun elevations
Rodrigues-Ruivo, Celestino; Carrillo-Andrés, Antonio; Apaolaza-Pagoaga, Xabier (Elsevier, 2021-02-04)Over the past few decades, many efficient solar cooker designs have evolved. It is important to measure their performance and communicate this information to researchers, manufacturers and users around the world. Funnel ... -
Experimental thermal performance evaluation of different configurations of Copenhagen solar cooker
Apaolaza-Pagoaga, Xabier; Carrillo-Andrés, Antonio; Rodrigues-Ruivo, Celestino (Elsevier, 2021-12-01)In this work, four different configurations of Copenhagen solar cookers were tested experimentally at the same time under the same weather conditions. First tests were carried out using pots without water load. Secondly, ... -
New approach for analysing the effect of minor and major solar cooker design changes: Influence of height trivet on the power of a funnel cooker
Apaolaza-Pagoaga, Xabier; Carrillo-Andrés, Antonio; Rodrigues-Ruivo, Celestino (Elsevier, 2021-08-14)In present work, the power values of two funnel cookers were determined by following the standard ASAE S580.1 procedure and also a novel improved approach for better analysing the effect of minor design changes. This new ... -
Optical characterization of a funnel solar cooker with azimuthal sun tracking through ray-tracing simulation
Carrillo-Andrés, Antonio; Apaolaza-Pagoaga, Xabier; Rodrigues-Ruivo, Celestino; Rodríguez-García, Eduardo Amador; Fernández-Hernández, Francisco Ángel (Elsevier, 2022-01-20)Funnel type solar cookers are simple and effective. Most of them rely on a multifaceted reflector to concentrate solar radiation on a cooking pot that is placed inside a transparent enclosure to create a greenhouse effect. ... -
Optical performance analysis of the Copenhagen solar cooker with COMSOL Multiphysics
García-Fernández, Jesús; Carrillo-Andrés, Antonio; Apaolaza-Pagoaga, Xabier; García-Ruiz, Antonio; Ruiz-Reina, Emilio (Elsevier, 2024-01-31)The Copenhagen solar cooker is a compact, panel-type design with four flexible reflective panels to redirect solar radiation onto a cooking pot. The geometric configuration of the panels is adjustable, depending on the sun ... -
Performance of solar funnel cookers using intermediate temperature test load under low sun elevation
Apaolaza-Pagoaga, Xabier; Sagade, Atul; Rodrigues-Ruivo, Celestino; Carrillo-Andrés, Antonio (Elsevier, 2021-08-11)Solar funnel cookers can be designed as attractive and affordable low-cost devices accessible to people in all continents of the world regardless of their walk-in life. The present work is aimed to investigate the ... -
The effect of partial loads on the performance of a funnel solar cooker
Apaolaza-Pagoaga, Xabier; Carrillo-Andrés, Antonio; Rodrigues Ruivo, Celestino; Fernández-Hernández, Francisco Ángel (Elsevier, 2022-11-20)Several solar cooker designs have been proposed over the last decades. The funnel cooker is a well-known model, representative of the category of panel-type solar cookers. From the empirical experience of real practice, ...
