Mathematical Modeling of the Process of Microwave Electro-Thermal Processing Dielectrics in the Camera of the Radiation Type

Thermal treatment of dielectrics with loss in microwave electromagnetic field greatly intensifies the technological process when compared with the thermal treatment at conventional and radiation heat exchange.

Recently, customers of the installation for microwave thermal treatment of dielectrics show the great interest to installations of high productivity, allowing one to process the objects with greater surfaces and volumes.

It is most advantageously to build such installations on the camera of radiation type. These cameras allow one to use the necessary amount of radiating systems required for leading the energy distributed over the surface and volume of the processed dielectric.

Mathematical modeling of the heating process in multi-generators camera of the radiation type enable one to calculate a temperature field in the processed object before designing and manufacturing the working camera and installation as a whole. If required, this enables one to correct the design, operation characteristics of the microwave generators and their operational modes to receive the required uniformity of heating.

In the paper, the relationships and method of mathematical modeling of the process of heating the dielectrics in multi-generators cameras of the radiation type of the installation for microwave heating the dielectrics are given.
