Conventional or resistance heating is the most common method of heating materials in laboratory applications. Conventionally heated ovens and furnaces use resistance heating elements similar to stove ...

Anyone who has accidentally put metal in a microwave oven knows that metal and microwaves are not friends. However, microwaves can be used in targeted, specific ways for the heat treatment of metals.

In chemistry labs worldwide, the rapid heating that microwaves provide is routinely used—often in instruments not much different from kitchen ovens—as a tool for accelerating reactions. In chemical ...

Researchers studying the nonuniform heating of liquids in microwaves simulate thermal conductivity of liquids and show why microwaving liquids differs from other techniques. Using cut-off waveguide ...

(Nanowerk News) In recent times, humans have faced the threats of global warming and depletion of energy resources. In Japan, about 40% of the greenhouse gases generated due to energy consumption are ...

Microwave heating may not be uniform. When you heat liquids like water, milk and tea in microwave, you must have noticed a difference as compared to heating on stove. Of course, the process is faster ...

Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. and Microwave Chemical Co., Ltd. have decided to set up a new demonstration facility within Mitsui Chemicals’ Nagoya Works. The facility will demonstrate basic technology ...
