Modelling microwave heating

Microwave Heating Cavities: Modelling and Analysis

In this paper, cylindrical metallic cavities used in the processes of dielectric materials heating and drying by microwave energy, are discussed. Their mode tuning behaviour under different loading and excitation conditions has been presented. A short review of techniques used for modelling and analysis purposes as well as the numerical results mostly experimentally verified are given.

Microwave heating

Microwave heating is a process within a family of electroheat techniques, such as induction, radio frequency, direct resistance or infra-red heating, all of which utilise specific parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. These processes supplement, and in specific cases totally replace, conventional heating or drying systems used in industry. This is because some conventional systems are very bul...

Effect of microwave heating

The purpose of the present study was to explore the influence of microwave heating for different periods on the primary and secondary oxidation, total oxidation as well as conjugation of stripped and non-stripped linseed oils. Color index of the oil samples was also evaluated to show changes of color during periodical heating. It was generally found that a significant increase in peroxide value...
