Abstract
A heat transfer process in which a chemical species flow is heated by heat exchange, by providing a source of applied electromagnetic energy that creates heat; directing at least a portion of the chemical species flow over the source of applied electromagnetic energy wherein the chemical species flow absorbs heat from the applied electromagnetic energy source to create a heated chemical species flow; and directing the heated chemical species flow into a device that uses applied electromagnetic energy to react gases within the chemical species flow.

A heat transfer process in which a chemical species flow is heated by heat exchange, comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a source of applied electromagnetic energy that creates heat;
- (b) directing at least a portion of the chemical species flow over the source of applied electromagnetic energy wherein the chemical species flow absorbs the heat from the applied electromagnetic energy source to create a heated chemical species flow;
- and
- (c) directing the heated chemical species flow into a device that uses applied electromagnetic energy to react chemical species within the heated chemical species flow.
A heat transfer process wherein a chemical species flow is heated by heat exchange, comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a source of applied electromagnetic energy that creates heat;
- (b) directing at least a portion of the chemical species flow over the source of applied electromagnetic energy wherein the chemical species flow absorbs the heat from the applied electromagnetic energy source to create a heated chemical species flow;
- (c) directing at least a portion of the heated chemical species flow through a heat exchange device that exchanges heat between an input chemical species flow into the heat exchange device and an exhaust output chemical species flow out of the heat exchange device;
- and
- (d) directing the at least a portion of the heated chemical species flow into a device that uses applied electromagnetic energy to react chemical species within the heated chemical species flow.
