Simultaneous heat and moisture diffusion during microwave heating of moist wood

The influence of simultaneous heat and moisture diffusion on moisture movement in porous materials, such as cotton, has been known since the late 1940s. Until now this theory has not been applied to the problem of microwave heating in moist materials.
