Numerical Simulations of Thermo-Fluid Phenomena in Microwave Heated Packed and Fluidized Beds

Microwave heating is implemented in various fields such as drying, material processing, and chemical reactors. Microwaves offer several advantages over conventional heating methods: 1) microwaves deposit heat directly in the material without convection or radiation, 2) microwave heating is easy and...
