Furthermore, various electronic devices might be vulnerable to electromagnetic pollution in the same manner. Therefore, the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding technique is one of the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) engineering phenomena that prevents the detrimental effects by means of electromagnetic pollution, especially in building areas. This work investigates the EMI shielding effectiveness and electromagnetic absorbing activities of plaster mortars containing various waste metals with different ratios. Measurements have been carried out in the frequency range of 8.2–12 GHz. Results concluded that the reference material shows the lowest total shielding effectiveness. The plaster mortar sample containing 20% iron, 3% steel, and 3% chromium showed the maximum EMI shielding effectiveness with a range of 20–24 dB. Measurement results indicated that the absorption capability is the dominant component of the total shielding effectiveness, except for the reference sample. Furthermore, the apparent porosity of each sample was analyzed. The maximum apparent porosity was obtained by chromium chips waste added sample. It was obtained that the iron waste chips increased the apparent porosity of samples.","PeriodicalId":16556,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Microwave Power and Electromagnetic Energy","volume":"201202 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77696383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For all chicken samples, the same general trend was observed for the variations of dielectric properties with frequency. The dielectric constant decreased with frequency with significant slope change at about 5 GHz. The dielectric loss factor decreased sharply up to 2 GHz and then increased with frequency showing a broad relaxation above 8 GHz. Values of the dielectric constant and dielectric loss factor measured for marinated chicken meat samples were greater than those of non-marinated samples and this was more significant for the dielectric loss factor at lower frequencies. In addition, each level of marination was distinctly observed over the same frequency range. Investigation of the influence of storage revealed that the dielectric loss factor of marinated samples decreased over the storage period while those of non-marinated sample slightly increased with storage time.

Microwave radiation may be able to reduce or eliminate the pathogens, but the energy requirements first need defining. Hence, the dielectric properties of wheat and barley stubble with different pathogen loads were investigated at 10%, 15%, 30% and 100% moisture content using an open-ended coaxial probe in a spectral band covering 915, 2450, and 5800 MHz. A significant increase in dielectric constant and loss factor was observed with increasing stubble moisture. The dielectric constant and loss factor were lower in the crown (basal) section of stubble compared with the stem (20 cm from base), due to differences in density. When stubble moisture was 100%, the loss factor of barley was higher than wheat. Infection of stubble by different pathogens did not affect the dielectric properties. Microwave heating could therefore be an effective method to heat cereal stubble to eradicate a range of cereal pathogens, especially at lower frequencies and high moisture content, at which the loss factor is high. This research serves as a starting point to define requirements for further development of effective microwave radiation treatments under field conditions.","PeriodicalId":16556,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Microwave Power and Electromagnetic Energy","volume":"83 2 1","pages":"219 - 237"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77418793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, the effect of different boundary conditions on the global temperature distribution was analysed. Second, the equilibrium conversion matrix was calculated using the singular value decomposition (SVD) truncation method under homogeneous boundary conditions. Using this matrix, a lower-dimensional microwave heating ODE model was further obtained. Finally, the numerical simulation results showed that the root mean square error (RMSE) was only 0.07 and the maximum relative error was only −0.85%. The computation time of the equilibrium conversion matrix was 2.12 ∼ 3.00 ms, and the model calculation time was reduced by 97.78%.
