微波炉的工作原理(国外英文资料) The working principle of microwave oven In 1946, Spence was a fellow of Raytheon Corporation in the United states. By chance, he found that the microwave dissolved the candy. It has been proved that microwave radiation can cause molecular vibrations in food and produce heat. In 1947, the first microwave oven came out. As the name suggests, the microwave oven is to use microwave to cook cook. Microwave is an electromagnetic wave. This electromagnetic energy than radio waves are often much larger, but also a strong personality, microwave an encounter took place reflective metal, the metal there is no way to absorb or transfer it; microwave can pass through glass, ceramics, plastics and other insulating materials, but it will not consume energy; and water containing food, microwave not only through its energy but will be absorbed. Microwave ovens are made with these characteristics of microwaves. The outer shell of the microwave oven is made of stainless steel and other metal materials, and the microwave can be prevented from escaping from the furnace so as not to influence the health of the people. Food containers are made of insulating material. The heart of a microwave oven is a magnetron. The electron tube, called a magnetron, is a microwave generator that produces microwaves with a frequency of 2 billion 450 million vibrations per second. This invisible microwave can penetrate the food to 5cm depth, and also move the water molecules in the food. Intense movement produces a large amount of heat energy, so the food is cooked. This is the principle of microwave heating. When cooking food from an ordinary stove, heat is always coming from the outside of the food into the food. Microwave cooking, the heat is directly into the food inside, so the cooking speed faster than other stoves 4 to 10 times, thermal efficiency of more than 80%. At present, the thermal efficiency of other stoves can not be compared with that of other stoves. The microwave oven, f
