Ultrasound absorption by particles in water

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on calculating the ultrasound absorption of polystyrene particles (15 microns) in water at a frequency of 20 MHz. The original poster, Radel, expressed difficulty in finding analytical expressions for this calculation. A suggested resource is the book "Ultrasonic Absorption: An Introduction to the Theory of Sound Absorption and Dispersion in Gases, Liquids and Solids" by A. B. Bhatia, which may provide foundational knowledge on the topic.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of ultrasound frequency (20 MHz)
  • Knowledge of particle size effects (15 microns polystyrene)
  • Familiarity with sound absorption principles in liquids
  • Basic knowledge of relevant literature in acoustics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the book "Ultrasonic Absorption: An Introduction to the Theory of Sound Absorption and Dispersion in Gases, Liquids and Solids" by A. B. Bhatia
  • Explore analytical methods for calculating ultrasound absorption in liquids
  • Investigate the effects of particle size on ultrasound propagation
  • Learn about experimental techniques for measuring ultrasound absorption
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, acoustics engineers, and students studying ultrasound applications in liquids, particularly those focused on particle interactions in water.

Hi All,

I am in need to calculate the ultrasound (20MHz) absorption of particles (polystyrene of size 15 microns) in water. I tried to search in the internet, but couldn't find any simple analytical expressions. Can someone please help me !

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Radel...

Not sure that it has the information, but there is a Dover book on the basic topic: A. B. Bhatia, "Ultrasonic Absorption: An Introduction to the Theory of Sound Absorption and Dispersion in Gases, Liquids and Solids."
