        abstract = {Solar Energy is a renewable source of energy. Its uses do not contribute to emission of greenhouse gases and other pollutants to the environment. It is sustainable since it cannot be depleted in a time relevant to the human race. Concentrating solar power (CSP) is a unique renewable energy technology. Concentrated solar power has an ability to generate electricity, refrigeration and water purification in a single unit. This technology will be extremely helpful in improving the quality of life for many people around the world who lack the energy needed to live a healthy life. Solar parabolic dish is used for water heating and cooking application. An analysis is mainly concentrated on the steam generation. The values of mass flow rate of steam, hourly thermal efficiency are calculated and their variation with time and solar intensity are represented graphically. The result are encouraging to provide data for developing steam generation for rural application .The concentrated heat is absorbed by a copper tube which is made of  spiral coil and the experimental results are taken on summer and cloud free days. Dish is equipped with manual tracking system. The maximum temperature achieved is 100 ˚C and maximum mass flow rate achieved is 0.1167 ×10-3 Kg/sec.},
