Energy analysis in acoustic cavitation

In sonochemical processes, the physical and chemical effects are attributed to the phenomenon of cavitation, which is the formation, growth, and colla pse of the cavities termed as activity of cavities. Energy analysis of a si ngle cavity has been considered in order to explain, qualitatively, the eff ects of acoustic parameters such as intensity and frequency of ultrasonic e quipment on sonochemical reactions. The experimental observations of the so nochemical reactions available in the literature are found to be consistent with the simulation results. Energy analysis of the cavity gives the possi ble reasons for the various sonochemical effects observed, and also the opt imum equipment operating parameters can be predicted.
