Numerical Modeling of Drying Wood in High Frequency Electromagnetic Field

Abstract

The principal aim of this work was the numerical modelling of an applicator for microwave drying of wood. The designed microwave system is dedicated for the use at factory scale. Through modelling was followed the best position of the dielectric and waveguide for a uniform distribution of the field.
