摘要
The thermal modelling of foods in a microwave field was investigated. The purpose of this work was to simplify the complex thermal modelling necessary for the drying calculations. The calorimetric technique was used to model the power absorbed with respect to sample size and oven loading. A linear relationship between power absorbed and sample diameter was obtained, while a non-linear behaviour was observed between the power absorbed by samples of various diameters and oven loading.
