The new environmental friendly microwave technologies represents an important concern in the environmental policies. The use of microwave energy for the processing of different agricultural products presents the advantage of a green technology which allow a uniform distribution of electromagnetic and thermal field with a short relatively time of the process. In the paper is studied the microwave drying technology used in the drying process of oat seeds. In this sense the experiments were carried out for different working conditions of the equipment with respect to applied microwave power and obtained temperatures. A numerical model associated to the problem and solved by the means of finite element method is used. These allows us to obtain the electromagnetic field distribution through simulation inside the microwave dryer. The simulations were performed in order to obtain good quality products that may be used for seeding and food industry. The approached method is flexible so as it can be applied to all cereals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
