ABSTRACT={Among the thermal applications of solar energy, solar cooking is considered one of the simplest, most viable and most attractive options in terms of using solar energy. In isolated mountainous regions, or in the desert where wood energy resources are constantly decreasing while heat needs are constantly growing, solar cooking of food products then appears to be the ideal way to remedy this problem. issue. This study focuses on the numerical simulation of a prototype solar cooker. This device is designed to ensure food cooking thanks to solar radiation which will be captured and trapped to reach temperature levels favorable to healthy food cooking. The modeling of the prototype of the solar cooker studied is carried out by introducing the different heat exchanges involved between the different elements of the solar cooker. We present an analysis of the results of the numerical simulation of the system processed using MATLAB software with a calculation algorithm based on the Runge-Kutta method. An analysis of the exergy of the studied solar oven is carried out to analyze and optimize the operation of the oven.}}
