Velocity study in an ultrasonic reactor.
In order to determine the parameters required to describe and to optimize sonochemical reactors, we have investigated the water flow inside such a reactor. With this aim, the experimental velocity field has been measured by tomography laser. The influence of certain parameters such as the electric power, the water height and the fluid viscosity has been evaluated. At the same time, the water movement has been studied theoretically using Nyborg's model. We have tried to improve this model by considering a three-dimensional velocity.
