Abstract:
The one-dimensional heat transfer of microwave thawing in a food analogue material is experimentally studied. The results show that the phase change region is narrow and the latent heat is quickly released due to the effect of the microwave energy. Besides, in the rising section of the temperature after thawing. the internal heat source makes the temperature at the central point rise more quickly than that at other parts of the tested element.
