Analysis of Variance in the Process of Drying a Dielectric Material Inside a Microwave Applicator

Abstract

The aim of the present study was the optimization of the factors that interfere in the heating process of a dielectric material inside a microwave applicator. Because in the process of optimization choosing the factors and responses is very important, in order to make the best decision when establishing the input data, Analysis of Variance was used. The article includes design of experiments using Design Expertsoftware and numerical modeling made with Comsol Multiphysics software.
