Microwave drying of cylindrical products

Abstract

Application of microwave power for drying of products in cylinderic form is presented. Numerical analysis of mass and heat transfer of the processed material using microwave energy and hot air is carried out. The system is nonlinear one. Three dimensional finite difference using the polar coordinate system (curved boundaries) is the cornerstone of the solution of the system. To avoid physical and chemical or biological changes during manipulation, such technique possess implicit energy balance and control
