A predictive approach in modeling and simulation of heat and mass transfer during microwave heating. Application to SFME of essential oil of Lavandin Super

▶ First predictive 3D model of extraction of essential oils with microwaves. ▶ General behavior of the system and hot spots are predicted. ▶ Transport of the vapor produced by microwave heating will improve accuracy. ▶ Predictions are better at higher power values. ▶ Moisture is the variable of the plant that most influences the process.
