Abstract
Developing countries face challenges in providing effective medical equipment sterilization
methods due to resource and energy shortages. This thesis explores the integration of solar
technology into autoclave design to improve sterilization efficiency in these regions. The
research involves developing a mathematical model for a solar-powered autoclave system
that meets required sterilization standards. Experiments have shown that the system
can produce saturated steam and reach temperatures exceeding 121°C within 20 to 30
minutes, ensuring effective sterilization. The study highlights the importance of using
renewable energy as a sustainable and efficient alternative to conventional energy sources
in resource-limited settings.
