Reviewer 1 Report
It is interesting manuscript but the information is little to understand the sample heating behavior. I order authors to add objection or new data against following comments.
- From the viewpoint of electromagnetic heating, it is the electric field strength that contributes to heating distribution. For example, if a resonant system is employed, several grams of water can be quickly heated at several watts. The output of the microwave oscillated by the horn antenna should be converted into the electric field strength and used as an index.
2. There is no guarantee that the temperature distribution will be same at each point. When microwaves heat water or solids, temperature distributions are formed in the depth direction and in the direction parallel to the interface. In particular, as the frequency increases, the temperature distribution in the depth direction becomes remarkable. The heating target does not have an even temperature distribution only by natural convection. Therefore, it is difficult to consider under what conditions Fig. 1 is heated data.
