This book provides a comprehensive overview of the main electrical technologies for process
heating which tend to be treated separately in specialized books. Individual chapters focus on
heat transfer electromagnetic fields in electro-technologies arc furnaces resistance
furnaces direct resistance heating induction heating and high-frequency and microwave
heating. The author highlights those topics of greatest relevance to a wide-ranging teaching
program and at the same time offer a detailed review of the main applications of the various
technologies. The content represents a synthesis of the extensive knowledge and experience that
the author has accumulated while researching and teaching at the University of Padua's
Engineering Faculty. This text on industrial electroheating technologies is a valuable resource
not only for students of industrial electrical chemical and material science engineering
but also for engineers technicians and others involved in the application of electroheating
and energy-efficient industrial processes.
