Abstract

The temperature change due to focused ultrasound in dissipative acoustic medium is very important because it provides us much information. To measure the temperature change inside of the dissipative acoustic medium non-invasively, we adopt a temperature sensitive film which has thermochromic particles with critical temperature of $30^{\circ}C$. As a dissipative acoustic medium, agar layer is chosen in the study. The temperature change due to the ultrasound was measured depending on the concentration of the sugar in the agar layer. The color change on the film due to the ultrasound was investigated when the concentration of sugar was from 25% to 40%. As the result, there were rapid increases of discolored area on the film within 2~5 second after the ultrasound driving and the increasing rates decreased after the period. To compare the simulation results were also shown. However in the simulated result, the discolored areas linearly increased from start to 10 seconds. The reason of the differences between the experimental results and simulated ones is that the change of thermal conductivity and heat capacity of the medium were not considered in the simulation program.

음향감쇠매질 내에서 집속 초음파에 의한 온도 분포 변화를 파악하는 것은 다양한 분야에 매우 중요한 정보를 제공할 수 있다. 본 연구는 음향감쇠매질 내에 임계온도 $30^{\circ}C$인 시온안료를 사용한 감온 필름을 삽입하여 비침습적으로 온도 상승 효과를 조사하였다. 음향감쇠매질은 한천과 설탕을 섞어 제작하였으며 매질내 음향특성을 제어하기위해 사용한 설탕 농도는 25 %에서 40 %까지 변화시켰다. 집속 초음파에 의한 온도상승 효과를 감온 필름의 변색영역의 변화로 관찰한 결과 초음파 방사 후 2~5 s 사이에 급격한 변색 영역의 증가를 보이다가 그 이 후 완만한 변화를 보였다. 시뮬레이션에서는 실험 결과와는 달리 초음파 방사후 10 s까지 선형적으로 변색영역이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이는 매질의 열전도도 및 열용량은 온도에 따라 변하는 값을 가지는데, 시뮬레이션에는 이를 고려하지 못했기 때문으로 사료된다.
