Abstract

Reverberation chambers are an important tool in various industrial applications: the microwave heating is useful for disinfestation of works of art, disinfection of packaging according to current international guidelines, drying of foodstuff, phitosanitary treatment. We built an application that simulates the heating of an object, assimilated to a sphere, in reverberation chamber. This application is useful for electromagnetic simulation and it is easy to use for inexperienced person in electromagnetic field. It is an user-friendly application featuring a rich graphical user interface. It can visualise the distribution of temperature in objects to be treated and it is possible to insert the power to be transmitted in the chamber. This application is built in COMSOL Multiphysics, an environment for various physics and engineering applications, especially coupled phenomena, or multiphysics. The packages are cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) and they enable you to create accurate models in a very fast way. © 2015 IEEE.
