Abstract

The aim of this paper is the linear stability analysis of an evaporating interface in order to justify hydrodynamic behaviors observed during evaporation of water and ethanol simultaneously under microwave irradiation and reduced pressure. In relation to the local character of the thermal conversion of electromagnetic energy, and of the thermal dependency of the dielectric loss, it seems possible under microwave heating to induce a specific hydrodynamic compared to those induced by conventional heating.
