Research on Heat Transfer Model of Asphalt Pavements Subjected to Microwave Heating Recycling

In　order　to　assess　temperature　field　in　microwave　heating　for　recycling　asphalt　pavements,a　2D　mathematic　heat　transfer　model　was　developed　based　on　Fourier　heat　transfer　theory　The　microwave　internal　heat?generation　was　researched　by　using　surface　field　of　pyramidal　horn　replacing　approximate　radiation　field　In　addition，the　boundary　conditions　were　built　and　normalization　processing　was　implemented　The　control　volume　based　finite　differential　method　(CV-BDM)　was　used　to　establish　the　implicit　discrete　scheme　of　the　conservation equations,and　the　numerical　value　simulation　was　employed　By　continuous　or　intermittent　 radiation　heating　technique,a　microwave　heating　experimental　system　at　2　145　GHz　was　carried　out　to　investigate　temperature　variation　characteristics　of　asphalt　pavements　along　with　heating　time　The　result　shows　that　(1)　the　increase　of　temperature　of　asphalt　mixture　during　microwave　heating　is　obviously　nonlinear,the　temperature　rises　slowly　in　the　initial　stage　of　the　heating　but　increases　rapidly　in　the　late　heating　period;　(2)　the　temperature　distribution　is　non-uniform　that　the　temperature　in　central　area　of　the　surface　is　higher　while　it　is　lower　on　edge;　(3)　the　uniformity　of　temperature　within　asphalt　mixtures　can　be　improved　by　using　intermittent　heating　technique,and　the　heating　time　must　be　reasonable　The　simulation　results　are　in　preferable　agreement　with　the　experiment
