posted on 2018-05-17, 08:20 authored by Peter L. JonesOver the last few years, radio frequency, also known as dielectric
heating has become well established in a number of process industr1es
because of its unique heat transfer characteristics which make it a
fourth category, volumetric heating, alongside the well established
mechanisms of radiation, conduction and convection. RF has become
widely accepted in the textile, food, woodworking and paper converting
industries amongst others, even though a fully integrated theory, which
brings together heat and mass transfer, electrical theory, material
characteristics, and process parameters has yet to be established. [Continues.]
