..., and 85.4 deg. The highest blockage of β = 0.800 encourages the downstream backward velocity values, which as a consequence disturbs the boundary layer and weakens the fluid-solid contact. The center and average moisture contents differ significantly at the beginning of drying process, but in the last 5...

...P. Rattanadecho; N. Suwannapum; W. Cha-um Microwave heating-drying of hardened Type I-cement paste using a rectangular waveguide is a relatively new area of cement-based materials research. In order to gain insight into the phenomena that occur within the waveguide together with the temperature...
