A collection of practical know-how learned from failures by the authors who have created the history of microwave research, application, and practical use.
The valuable content regarding microwaves developed by our predecessors remains limited to personal experiences, making it increasingly difficult to obtain. Therefore, this book, led by the author who is 98 years old, along with experienced "skilled researchers" and "skilled engineers" with an average age of 68, extensively covers the applications and subjects that can utilize microwave heating, the essence and specific methods to achieve the unique effects of microwave heating, as well as common mistakes and shortcomings. It aims to serve as a textbook and guide filled with so-called "know-how" that provides clues to those newly engaging in microwave heating, those currently practicing it, and those who are not achieving the expected results, helping them understand the causes and countermeasures. The content is explained using diagrams, text, and examples as a foundational structure, making it easy for readers from various fields to appreciate the allure of microwave energy and learn creatively. Each chapter includes messages to junior researchers and contains timeless content in the areas of microwave heating, drying, chemistry, and materials. By reading this book repeatedly, readers will not only feel the history of this field and find references for technology but will surely come up with new ideas.
