Microwaves heating in a specific experimental configuration

In this research microwave heating is applied to analogous experiments modeling Earth's mantle dynamics. This paper presents the experimental setup for laboratory convection experiments and the optimization procedure towards the desired result (i.e. uniform heating of the probe and long-term power stability). The schematic diagram of the microwaves power generator is detailed and presented together with the methods allowing to control the microwaves power stability. The biological protection of the users related to the microwaves leakage is also considered in the experimental setup design.
