How Can I Build a Small-Scale HIFU System for Inducing Sample Oscillation?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on constructing a small-scale High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) system to induce sample oscillation at approximately 1000 cm/sec. The inquirer has found limited resources focused on non-medical applications of HIFU and seeks guidance on building such a mechanism. Suggestions for alternative methods to achieve remote oscillation of samples are also welcomed. Participants are encouraged to share insights or direct the inquirer to relevant resources. The goal is to develop an efficient solution for sample manipulation using ultrasound technology.

For a recent project, I would like to construct a small-scale HIFU system to be focused onto a small sample, ideally inducing an oscillation (velocity) of around ~1000 cm/sec. However, upon researching into this topic, I've only really found information on systems used for medical applications. Does anyone have any starters on how I can go about building such a mechanism, or pointers on where to find out how? Alternatively, is there an easier/more efficient way to remotely oscillate a sample?

Thank you for any feedback.

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
