One of the important points in handling microwaves is that the order of magnitude is decimeter order. Laboratory equipment is not too big for wavelength, so intensity nonuniformity may occur. Another important point is that microwave propagation changes with material parameter changes. To heat material in the planned shape, the consideration with electromagnetism about the equipment and the system will be necessary. Herein, the phenomena which should be considered when a flow reactor is irradiated with a microwave is described.
