Popis: A mathematical model for the microwave-assisted pyrolysis of plastic was simulated for different process conditions so that the behaviour of the system can be predicted without much error. This will help in the scale-up of the process and for further research can be made economically feasible. The importance of the process in current scenario is identified. Earlier efforts on studying the process were studied, and review of the study is done. A model of microwave heating was simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics software and validated with experimental results. The inverse temperature profile was obtained for all the samples. Analysis of variation for change in sample composition was studied.
