Abstract
In this paper, we develop a numerical model based on spectral methods for the simulation of heat transfer due to radial irradiation microwave applied to samples in cylindrical geometry. We solve the Maxwell's equations and the resulting electric field distribution is incorporated as a source term in the heat transfer equation. The model includes the temperature dependence of the dielectric properties. The numerical model is validated with experimental temperature data from literature.
