Solar Cooker. The parabolic cooker MS-ST10 is delivered as a kit, handily packed in a single carton, with complete assembly instructions and even the necessary tools. Thanks to the reflector diameter of 1 meter, it develops an immense power. One liter of water boils in significantly less than half an hour. If the rays are focused 45 centimeters from the vertex, find the equation for the parabolic cooker. Enter the equation in standard form. The equation of the parabolic cooker is

A solar park in Spain consists of 400 parabolic mirrors. Each parabolic mirror has an area of 14×6 m2 focused onto a large metal cylinder containing 52 m3 water. The energy of water heated by ΔT [K] increases by W = cm∆T, where c = 4.18 [J/(g*K)]. Give an estimate in [minutes] of how fast the water will be heated from 15oC to 60oC, assuming the normal solar irradiance and albedo (1380 W/m2 and 0.30, respectively). Select one: a. 10 b. 1 c. 20 d. 5 e. 300
