Abstract

Due to the speed of processing, the microwave heating of materials is becoming industrially important. One of the major difficulties in using this technology is the occurrence of “hot spots,” which are localized areas of high temperature that develop as the material is being irradiated. It is of great practical significance to predict the condition under which hot spots arise so that their occurrence can be avoided or utilized. For example, hot spots are desirable in smelting since they quicken the process and undesirable in sintering ceramics since they can lead to damage.
