Abstract

The authors present a system of classification for electroheat processes wherein heat is generated within a material by interaction with an electromagnetic field at frequencies below several GHz. it is suggested that the processes may be classified according to the simplest form of Maxwell's equations that govern the particular process. The recommended terminology is as close to current usage as possible in order to minimize the changes necessary to bring about wide acceptance.

 

Key Words:
