As we all know, if I heat water with a heat source, the rate at
which the water gains heat is proportional to the difference
between its temperature and the temperature of the heat source.
Assuming the water remains liquid, this corresponds to its
rate of temperature increase. This assumes that all the water
is at the same temperature all the time (being stirred), and
neglects convective and evaporative effects.
My question is: what is the change of temperature of water
as a function of time when being heated by microwaves?
Is it linear? Does it depend on the temperature of the water?
Assume an ideal situation as described above.
If nobody knows, I will try the experiment.
