Stand for studying the influence of shock wave pressure as an independent factor of ultrasonic cavitation effects

The intensifying effect of ultrasonic cavitation on physical and chemical processes is widely known nowadays. It has been repeatedly established that cavitation and accompanying nonlinear phenomena (shock waves, acoustic flows, heating of the medium) accelerate physical and chemical processes. However, modern studies of the influence of cavitation are either based on theoretical approaches, which usually consider shock wave pressure separately without considering other factors, or on experimental studies that determine the final efficiency of the process (the efficiency criterion depends on the type of process) under the influence of a combination of cavitation factors. While to ensure maximum efficiency of the process, it is necessary to identify the effect of each factor separately to select modes and conditions of influence (and, possibly, methods of modulating ultrasonic vibrations) that enhance the factor that most influences the speed of the process and weaken parasitic factors. To develop the direction of experimental research into the influence of individual cavitation factors, a stand has been developed that allows exposure to a medium with a similar temperature change as with ultrasonic exposure, but without the shock wave pressure generated during the collapse of cavitation bubbles.
