Variable Frequency Microwave (VFM) Drying of Porous Media for Productivity Optimization

The main objective of this paper is to help guide those interested in using variable frequency microwave (VFM) processing to improve porous materials drying process. Furthermore, the limitations in current understanding are included as a guide for potential users and future research and development activities. Meanwhile, experiments and generalized mathematical models conducted to evaluate the impact of different types of heat and mass transfer mode on drying characteristics of porous samples. The evolution of temperature, moisture content as well as the overall drying kinetics are obtained and discussed with various internal and external physical parameters.
