Original Abstract

This contribution brings the results obtained by numerical modeling of a reactor chamber design. The reactor chamber is intended for the preparation of oil. The chamber is designed for the operating frequency f = 2.4 GHz with regulated microwave power. The power regulation allows the optimization of heat distribution in non-homogenous material with respect to chemical and physical material changes- phase changes. The paper presents a numerical model of a coupled problem. The coupled problem includes the radio frequency model and thermal field with non-linear thermal material. It was solved using sophisticated combined numerical method the finite element method (FEM) and the finite volume method (FVM). The used material respects its own phase change from the liquid condition to the gas phase. The apparatus serves as an experimental prototype of the commercial one, that is currently being used by the ARS - Altman Recovery System Company.
