we planning to heat water directly using microwave for industrial purpose. we need only 33deg Celsius for that I need this.
This discussion focuses on the energy required to heat 1 liter of water by 1°C using a microwave for industrial purposes. The specific heat capacity of water is approximately 75.375 J/mol·K, leading to a requirement of 4187.5 joules to raise the temperature of 1 liter of water by 1°C. For a target increase of 33°C, a total of 138187.5 joules is necessary, which translates to a heating time of at least 275 seconds with a 500-watt microwave. The discussion also highlights energy losses in microwave generation and suggests alternatives like resistive heaters and heat pumps for improved efficiency.
PREREQUISITESEngineers, industrial heating specialists, and anyone involved in optimizing energy use in heating processes will benefit from this discussion.
