Effects of sample's dielectric property on the performance of microwave heating

Bu çalışma, 30 Kasım, 2 Aralık, 2017 tarihlerinde Bursa[Türkiye]’de düzenlenen 10. International Conference on Electrical and Electronics Engineering (ELECO) Kongresi‘nde bildiri olarak sunulmuştur.The performance of microwave heating depends on its operating frequency, applied power, sample's dielectric property, geometry, thickness, position of the sample placed in the multimode applicator and the size of applicator. This paper presents the effects of dielectric properties of the clay sample placed inside the multimode applicator on the performance of microwave heating. COMSOL Multiphysics software was used to simulate and estimate the electric field distribution over the surface of the sample for two different dielectric properties of clay sample. The simulated and experimentally obtained results are almost matched.Bursa Mühendisler OdasıUludağ Üniversitesi Mühendislik Fakültesi Elektrik Elektronik Muhendisliği Bölümüİstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi Mühendislik FakültesiBilim ve Teknoloji Araştırma Konseyi TürkiyeIEEE Türkiy
