Microwave thermal and nonthermal processes

Abstract

The microwave heat process and the microwaves heating mechanism are outlined. With regard to the thermal process, both the heating principles and features are summarized. In addition, nonthermal processes are presented, defined, and paraphrased as electromagnetic wave processes. In other words, some of the effects that microwaves display are introduced-particularly at weak microwave power levels that do not generate heat-rather than electromagnetic wave processes that occur in combination with thermal utilization of the microwaves.
