Technical and economic aspects of designing a hybrid microwave electrotechnological installation for processing biological substrates and plant raw materials

Abstract

The paper presents an algorithm for designing a hybrid microwave electrotechnological installation for processing biological substrates and plant material. The feasibility of designing a hybrid microwave electrotechnological installation is considered on the basis of comparative economic effects. A technical and economic optimization of the structure and parameters of a hybrid microwave electrotechnological installation for non-thermal processing of biological substrates and thermal processing of plant material was carried out. Purpose of the study: To conduct a feasibility study for the design of a hybrid microwave electrotechnological installation for processing biological substrates and plant raw materials. Methodology: The design and development of a hybrid microwave electrotechnological installation for thermal processing of plant material and non-thermal processing of biological substrates is based on the solution of a consistent boundary value problem of electrodynamics and heat and mass transfer. Results: The design algorithm and methodology for technical and economic calculation of a hybrid microwave electrotechnological installation for processing biological substrates and plant material are presented.
