Abstract

For the study of ZnO thin film deposition using a low cost microwave plasma deposition unit, a detailed analysis is required to ensure that sufficient power is delivered to plasma chamber. Hence a power analysis was carried out to observe the power absorbed by different loads when it is heated using a microwave oven. Here the load used is coconut oil, which is one of the most common edible oils. The power absorption characteristics of this load is observed and plotted by varying different parameters like time, volume and magnetron voltage.The same analysis is done with water, so that it can be taken as a reference. The power absorbed by water was higher when it is compared to coconut oil in all cases with different parameters. The results show the comparison of thermal properties and heating characteristics of coconut oil and water when they have undergone microwave radiation.
