Heat transfer performance between dielectric loss calculation and molecular dynamics simulation of microwave heating on water

摘要

To investigate the equivalence of thermal transmission between dielectric loss calculation and molecular dynamics simulation of water system under microwave heating, several computations have been performed. By introducing a compressive factor for the thermal conductivity, the temperature profiles obtained from the dielectric loss algorithm show good agreement with that of molecular dynamics simulation. This indicates that the heat transfer performance of an industrial size application of microwave heating can be equivalent to a molecular level simulation.
