Highlights
This work considered real-time prediction of physicochemical parameters for a sample heated in a uniform electromagnetic field
For all of the results shown in these tables dealing with SNR values lower than 20, the RMSE reached considerably higher values, indicating a substantial disagreement between the predicted temperatures and the estimated ones
In this article, we analyzed an alternative technique for estimating, in real-time, the thermal conductivity and the volumetric heat capacity of a material heated by microwaves
Summary
This work considered real-time prediction of physicochemical parameters for a sample heated in a uniform electromagnetic field. Conclusion: for practical purposes, the estimation procedure presented here requires both, a good experimental design and a correctly specified electronic instrumentation. If both requirements are satisfied simultaneously, it is possible to estimate these type of parameters on-line, without need for an additional experimental setup. Most materials heated by microwaves suffer from a high degree of non-uniform heating This problem is accentuated because of their short heating times and because of the pronounced temperature dependence of their thermodynamic properties. The current work considers an inverse problem approach for estimating thermal properties. Other applications include phase equilibrium, dehydrator performance, and gas analysis in materials such as natural gas, ionic fluids, hydrates, and oil field brine [3]–[7]
