Chemical reactions performed under microwave irradiation often have high reaction rates and high selectivities, which enable reactor sizes to be compact and processes to be energy-conserving. A microwave oven is widely used for microwave chemical processing and chemical synthesis. The COMSOL Multiphysics® software was used to obtain the the distribution of the electromagnetic (EM) field in the multi-mode applicator and the rotating stirrer fan of the microwave oven. The temperature distribution of the sample in the microwave oven was also obtained.
