Hybrid microwave electrotechnological installation for processing biological substrates and plant material

Abstract

The work presents a hybrid microwave electrotechnological installation, in which it is possible to simultaneously process biological substrates and plant material. A general view of the hybrid microwave electrotechnological installation and a mathematical model of the technological unit for thermal microwave processing of plant material are presented. The results of experimental studies of the heat treatment of plant material in a hybrid microwave electrotechnological installation are presented. Purpose of the study: To conduct experimental studies of the processing modes of plant material in a hybrid microwave electrotechnological installation. Methodology: The design and development of a hybrid microwave electrotechnological installation for thermal processing of plant material and non-thermal processing of biological substrates is based on the solution of a consistent boundary value problem of electrodynamics and heat and mass transfer. Results: As a result of experimental studies on the heat treatment of plant material in a hybrid microwave electrotechnological installation, the preferred processing modes were determined, resulting in a uniform change in the temperature and humidity of the plant material and a reduction in processing time.
