The major application of the induction-heating process is in metalworking industries, for such processes as hardening, soldering, melting, and annealing of metals. Compared to that of other methods of heating, the heat production of this process is extremely rapid. The area of the metal that is actually heated can be controlled by the size and position of the heating coils of the induction heater. This type of control is difficult to accomplish by other methods. Induction furnaces use the induction-heating principle.
Beneficial Industrial Uses of Electricity: Metals Production
Published in Clark W. Gellings, 2 Emissions with Electricity, 2020
The efficiency of induction heating systems varies by specific application and depends on the characteristics of the work piece, coil design, the types and capacity of the power supply, and the degree of temperature change required for the application. Induction heating only works with conductive materials, usually just metals. Induction heating can be used to heat plastics and other nonconductive materials by heating a conductive metal susceptor that transfers the heat. Induction heating can also be used to heat liquids in vessels and pipelines and is, therefore, often used by the petrochemical industry.

In the last few years, an increasing number of consumers have turned to alternative tobacco products as traditional tobacco has been deemed harmful and public smoking has been prohibited worldwide. These new products are designed to reduce harm, eliminate side stream smoke, and fulfill physiological needs. Among these products, the electric heating cigarette is the most popular, as it heats tobacco at low temperatures to prevent the release of harmful components like CO and tar (Aszyk et al. 2018; de Falco et al. 2020; Soulet and Sussman 2022b). Induction heating is a technology that is both eco-friendly and commonly utilized in both industrial and household settings due to its non-contact heating and high efficiency in converting heat. Electric heating noncombustible cigarettes are composed of both electric heating fittings and a new type of cigarette (Guo et al. 2021; Kannan, Fisher, and Birgersson 2021; Narimani, da Silva, and Mukherjee 2020). The temperature control system includes a heating element, detection module, control module, output module, and power module (Soulet and Sussman 2022a). The control module receives electricity from the power module and directs voltage to the heating element, rapidly increasing its temperature to heat the cigarettes (Hao, Luo, and Pan 2021; Primavessy et al. 2021; Singh et al. 2021).

Icing is a topic closely related to industrial production and daily life, which poses a great threat in various industries and fields, such as aerospace [1,2], electrical communication [3,4], and road transportation [5,6]. Recently, superhydrophobic surfaces which can effectively delay the icing time and reduce the ice adhesion strength have received intensive attention [7,8], but icing on the superhydrophobic surfaces is inevitable in a long period time under harsh environment [9–11]. Electric heating with energy input cannot only achieve anti-icing thoroughly, but also effectively de-icing once the surface is frozen. Induction heating, as a typical electric heating method, has been getting growing attention due to its high heating efficiency [12], fast response [13,14] and low energy consumption [15,16]. The basic principle of induction heating is that an alternating current is flowed through the coil to generate an alternating magnetic field, and an eddy current is induced in the conductor by the alternating magnetic field, leading to a temperature rise due to the Joule effect [17–19].
Field equations and memory effects in a functionally graded magneto-thermoelastic rod
Published in Mechanics Based Design of Structures and Machines, 2023
Induction heating is a noncontact method of precisely and accurately heating conductive materials that is widely used nowadays in diverse industrial operations including surface hardening, melting, welding, forging, and other similar applications in the automotive, aerospace, and other engineering sectors (Davies 1990; Huang and Huang 2010). Induction heating process has a number of benefits over traditional methods such as no naked flame or atmosphere safety issues, repeatability, high efficiency, reduced scale, rapid focused heat, and reduced operator skill levels. There are several types of heat source which may work in a thermoelastic solid (Mondal, Sur, and Kanoria 2020c; Sur 2020d). Numerous works had been devoted to problems involving a moving heat source due to its extensive engineering applications, such as continuous annealing after cold working, pulsed-laser cutting and welding, and high-speed machining and grinding, etc. The heat sources used are point sources, line sources, and plane sources, since these are the only types of geometry where analytical solutions are straightforward to obtain. The dynamic response of a finite piezoelectric rod subjected to a moving heat source is investigated by He, Cao, and Li (2007). Abbas (2015) solved a problem of fractional-order theory of generalized magneto-thermoelasticity subjected to a moving plane of the heat source. Mondal, Sur, and Kanoria (2019b) studied the thermo-viscoelastic interaction in a thermoelastic medium due to the presence of a moving heat source.
