During microwave pyrolysis inside a reactor (made of nickel alloy) , the biomass is being heated due to microwave radiation. Does the heated biomass at a high temperature also radiate heat from it's surface to the surrounding reactor wall/surface?
Microwave heating is a phenomenon that involves electromagnetic waves and heat transfer. So, once biomass particles are heated they will radiate heat to the surroundings.
I am working on FEA modeling of the reactor's (cylindrical geometry) heat transfer and thermal stress due to the radiation heat transfer from the biomass. Can you tell me what are the governing equations I have to consider or refer me to some articles to go through?
