This work deals with a numerical study of the potential use of microwave radiation as a
heating mode for the thermoforming of wood-plastic composites (WPC). It also shows the …

This paper presents a survey of the state of the art of microwave (MW) treatment of wood,
informed by both past and recent research papers. It begins by introducing the main …

Characteristics of microwave drying of wood strands with different initial moisture contents
and geometries were investigated using a commercial small microwave oven under different …

A detailed two-dimensional mathematical model is proposed for the microwave-induced
pyrolysis of a wood block, based on a close combination of the propagation and absorption …

Uneven temperature distributions during microwave heating in multi-mode ovens are
commonly reported. The influence of uneven field distribution can be partially overcome by …

The influence of simultaneous heat and moisture diffusion on moisture movement in porous
materials, such as cotton, has been known since the late 1940s. Until now this theory has …

Electromagnetic fields are complex phenomena, which transport energy and information
across space. Information can be imposed onto electromagnetic waves by human ingenuity …

The fourth industrial revolution will heavily rely on machine learning (ML). The rationale is
that these strategies make various business operations in many sectors easier. ML modeling …
