What is Experimental Analysis and Numerical Modeling of Microwave Reheating of Cylindrically Shaped Instant Rice about?

## Abstract The purpose of this study was to develop a numerical model to predict the temperature distribution in cylindrically shaped cooked rice samples during microwave reheating and to give impetus to a uniform microwave-heating design. Cylindrically shaped instant rice was reheated by continuous microwave application, and the sample temperature was measured to determine the internal temperature profile which resulted in a desired uniformity of temperature observed using the non-uniformity temperature evaluation. A finite difference method was used to predict the temperature distribution of the cylindrical rice during microwave reheating and applying Lambert’s law to calculate the microwave power absorption in a large sample of cylindrically shaped instant rice. In order to solve the numerical model of heat transfer, the thermal and dielectric properties of instant rice were measured with respect to temperature. Our results showed that the temperature had a significant effect on the specific heat and dielectric loss of rice, while the thermal conductivity and dielectric constant were unaffected. The numerically predicted temperature distributions were in good agreement with the
