Study of Ultrasound Transmission through an Immersed Glass Plate in view of Sonochemical Reactor Design Optimisation

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to improve the design of an ultrasonic reactor for industrial applications in liquids, which consists of a double‐structured tank. This paper presents an experimental approach for studying ultrasonic transmission through an immersed glass plate. Several inclination angles, between 0 and 40 ∘ , and several thicknesses have been investigated. Acoustic efficiency was determined using hydrophone measurements in different places in the reactor. A first reactor prototype was built and the optimised configuration defined was experimentally partially characterized and validated.
