Abstract
The acoustic nonlinearity parameter B/A of a liquid containing microbubbles , sonicated dextrose albumin, has been measured by using second harmonic in sert-substitution method. Results show that the value of nonlinearity param eter B/A for a bubbly liquid is significant and it obviously increases with increase of bubble number density. The high nonlinearity of the bubbly liq uid is mainly dependent on the microbubble nonlinear oscillation.
