Title :
3-D heat and mass transfer modeling and manipulation using microwaves
Abstract :
An investigation is made for three-dimensional heat and mass transfer using microwave power and hot air in a cubic specimen of the processed material. Analytical and numerical approach of the microwave drying process is presented. The nonlinear system is solved numerically by finite difference techniques. Simulation is performed for a material of isothermal moisture contents and mass transfer analogue of temperature. The work is done for frequency of operation equals to 2.45 GHz.
