In the proposed system （currently under development）, heat transfer oil is heated using solar energy by parabolic trough and the oil circulates through the space below the baking pan in the kitchen. Based on previous finite element study on existing electric injera baking pans, a new type of baking pan made from ceramic with 8 mm thickness was manufactured and used for the proposed system. The model was further extended to study the heat up time and temperature distributions during initial heat up and cyclic baking of the new model. The proposed baking pan that uses solar energy gives acceptable heat up and baking time compared to existing conventional baking methods. Generally, the finite element model predicts well the temperature distributions during initial heat up and cyclic baking.展开更多
