Abstract The design parameters of a |
|
resonant cavity, operating at 896 MHz for the heat treatment
of thin cylindrical samples of known dielectric properties, are presented.
Comparison is made of the performance of such a cavity with various liquid
foodstuffs. The influence of the dielectric liquid temperature on the
matching characteristics is experimentally investigated. High utilization
efficiencies and heating rates are obtained. The distribution of the axial
electric field in the loaded cavity is computed. The electric field pattern
pertaining to the
