Ultrasound absorption by particles in water

AI Thread Summary
Calculating the ultrasound absorption of 15-micron polystyrene particles in water at 20 MHz is the main inquiry in this discussion. The original poster, Radel, has struggled to find simple analytical expressions for this calculation. A suggestion was made to refer to A. B. Bhatia's book, "Ultrasonic Absorption: An Introduction to the Theory of Sound Absorption and Dispersion in Gases, Liquids and Solids," as a potential resource. Radel expressed gratitude for the recommendation and plans to explore the book. The discussion highlights a need for accessible resources on ultrasound absorption in particulate systems.

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."

Thank you for the info..I will check it out..
 

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
