Experimental characterization and modeling of microwave heating of oil palm kernels, mesocarps, and empty fruit bunches

The current work investigates the microwave heating and drying behavior of oil palm fresh fruits and bunches. Dielectric, thermal, and mechanical properties of oil palm kernels (OPKs), mesocarps, and empty fruit bunches (EFBs) were determined. New empirical models of the dielectric constant, loss fa...
