Characteristics of a chemical reactor that is a loaded microwave resonator

Relationships for calculation of the following parameters of reactors with microwave heating of chemical reagents are presented: the coefficient of absorbed microwave energy distribution in the reactor (in the cavity between the resonator walls and reagents) and the efficiency of transformation of microwave energy into heat of the reagents. The range of variation of microwave properties of the reactor during variation of reagent properties is estimated, and the coupling parameters of the resonator with the external line that provide for a high efficiency are determined.
