An experimental study has been carried out to investigate the effect of participating medium in cookingchamber of a conventional hot box solar cooker. For this, carbon dioxide gas (CO2) with atmospheric air has been usedas participating medium in cooking chamber of hot box solar cooker. In order to investigate the effect participatingmedium in cooking chamber of a conventional hot box solar cooker, performance of one box type solar cooker havingcarbon dioxide gas with air as participating medium in cooking chamber has been compared with a normal identical boxtype solar cooker with non participating medium (air) in the cooking chamber. The increase in temperature of water inthe box type solar cooker having carbon dioxide gas (CO2) with air as participating medium for radiation in the cookingchamber has been found significant. Thus the benefit of participating medium in solar cooker has been established. Dueto increased density of medium, convective mode of heat transfer has also been enhanced in the solar cooker havingparticipating medium in its cooking chamber.
