The temperature distribution within wood samples during microwave drying is significantly influenced by the dimensions of the wood sample, microwave frequency, heating time, and moisture content of the wood. Here, the temperature distribution inside the wood during microwave drying has been studied by finite element analysis in a three-port feeding circular resonant cavity. With an increasing radius of the wood, the calculated temperature variation coefficient decreased from 54.3 to 23.5% and the energy efficiency increased from 18 to 95%. When...
