Key Points

Temperature profiles significantly vary with different levels of water saturation in the sand columns.
Heat transfer mechanisms are altered due to varying water saturation—affecting thermal efficiency.
Experimental and numerical methods were employed to investigate microwave heating effects under specific conditions.
Results indicate that optimizing water saturation could enhance thermal management strategies in similar applications.
