Abstract

As a consequence of the Bergman-Milton theory, which expresses the effective permittivity of a two phase mixture with an integral form of a density function, it has been possible to evaluate the local electrical field strength in a heterogeneous mixture. The formulae can be used in a better way for modelling the local temperature inside a ceramic during microwave sintering.
