Sound Propagation in a Pipe Containing a Liquid of Comparable Acoustic Impedance
نویسندگان
چکیده
A detailed experimental study of sound propagation in liquids contained by pipes constructed of polymeric materials is discussed. Experiments were conducted with vertically aligned cylinders containing water ensonified at one end by a piston-driven sound source. Significant sound attenuation (as much as 60 dB} was observed in pipes made of flexible polymeric materials, the effect increasing with frequency and loss tangent. Sound propagation in more rigid polymeric pipes exhibited similar characteristics to that in metallic pipe in that negligible attenuation was observed. In this latter case, a comparison was made with recent analytical work for which excellent agreement was obtained.

A simple and novel method for acoustic streaming power measurement of ultrasonic horn
Ultrasonic horn with transfer of acoustic wave into an aqueous solution results in unique properties. When, transfer of sound wave into a liquid results in liquid movement in the direction of wave propagation which gradually loses its energy due to the viscous friction. This wave motion induces a flow which is known as acoustic streaming or micro-streaming. In this article, a simple innovative ...
