In the ultrasonic dispersion, in order to avoid direct contact of the radiation surface of ultrasonic transducers with a liquid sample, the liquid sample is separated by a glass container and it receives ultrasonic energy through an acoustic medium. The transmission efficiency of the ultrasonic energy in the multi-layered ultrasonic system is an important factor. In this study, we suggested a method that can improve the ultrasonic energy transfer efficiency by using a propylene glycol solution as a liquid matching layer in the multi-layered acoustic system. In this method, a propylene glycol solution was filled between the Langevin-type ultrasonic transducer and the luminol solution and the sonoluminescence phenomena in the luminol solution, which is caused by nonlinear effect of high power ultrasound radiated from the transducer, was examined by using a Photo Multiplier Tube (PMT). The transmission efficiency depending on the concentration of propylene glycol solution was observed, and we can see that as the concentration of the propylene glycol solution increased, the matching effect increased while the acoustic attenuation increased. It was confirmed that there is an optimal concentration compromised these two conflicting conditions, and the optimum concentration of the propylene glycol solution was determined experimentally.

This study experimentally investigates effect of boiling heat transfer when ultrasonic vibration was applied. Under the wall temperature condition, temperature distribution in a cavity was measured during the boiling process and heat transfer coefficient of convection, sub-tooled boiling and saturated boiling states were measured with and without ultrasonic vibration, respectively. Also, the profiles of the pressure distribution in acoustic field measured by a hydrophone were compared with the augmentation ratios of heat transfer calculated by local heat transfer coefficient. Result of this study, heat transfer coefficient and augmentation ratio of heat transfer is higher with ultrasonic waves than without one. Especially, augmentation ratio of heat transfer is more increased the convection state than sub-cooled boiling and saturated boiling states. Acoustic pressure is relatively higher near ultrasonic transducer than other points where is no installed it and affects the augmentation ratio of heat transfer.

Augmentation of heat transfer by ultrasonic vibration in pipes are investigated. Measurements of convective heat transfer coefficients on circular pipe walls are made with and without ultrasonic vibration applied to water. These data are compared with each other to quantify the effects of ultrasonic vibration on heat transfer enhancement. Numerical analysis has been also performed in order to extend the ranges of examined temperature and flow rate. FLUENT Ver.6.1 is used to simulate velocity and temperature fields and evaluate heat transfer coefficient with and without ultrasonic vibration. The results show that the ultra- sonic vibration enhances the Nusselt number of forced convection flow and the increase rate strongly depends on flow rate.

Ultrasonic transmitter used for scale prevention in boiler or heat exchanger is composed of the magnetostrictive material which transforms electric energy into ultrasonic wave and the horn which amplifies generated ultrasonic wave and transfers it into medium loaded. In this paper, we have performed the shape design for magnetostrictive material and analyzed a few type of horns which amplify generated ultrasonic wave and found each solution theoretically. Final length of the horn has been determined by measuring the sound pressure in medium between theoretical value and experience data. At last we have given the results of our study for the effects of ultrasonic wave irradiated by manufactured ultrasonic transmitter on preventing scale deposition on test pipe under the similar condition to boiler.

The UET(ultrasound excited thermography) for the ,eat-time diagnostics of the object employs an infrared camera to image defects of the surface and subsurface which are locally heated using high-frequency putted ultrasonic excitation. The dissipation of high-power ultrasonic energy around the feces of the defects causes an increase In temperature. The defect's image appears as a hot spot (bright IR source) within a dark background field. The UET for nondestructive diagnostic and evaluation is based on the image analysis of the hot spot as a local response to ultrasonic excited heat deposition. In this paper the applicability of VET for fast imaging of defect is described. The ultrasonic energy is injected into the sample through a transducer in the vertical and horizontal directions respectively. The voltage applied to the transducer is measured by digital oscilloscope, and the waveform are compared. Measurements were performed on four kinds of materials: SUS fatigue crack specimen(thickness 14mm), PCB plate(1.8 mm), CFRP plate(3 mm) and Inconel 600 plate (1 mm). A high power ultrasonic energy with pulse durations of 250ms Is injected into the samples in the horizontal and vertical directions respectively The obtained experimental result reveals that the dissipation loss of the ultrasonic energy In the vertical injection is less than that in the horizontal direction. In the cafe or PCB, CFRP, the size of hot spot in the vortical injection if larger than that in horizontal direction. Duration time of the hot spot in the vertical direction is three times as long as that in the horizontal direction. In the case of Inconel 600 plate and SUS sample, the hot spot in the horizontal injection was detected faster than that in the vertical direction

최근 진동 절삭 가공 및 용착 등에 초음파 진동을 동력적으로 응용하려는 시도가 급증하고 있다. 이 분야에서는 진동자에서 발생되는 미소한 진폭의 적은 초음파 에너지를 큰 에너지로변환시키는 방법으로서 진동자의 끝단에 진동자와 동일한 진동수의 고유진동수를 가진 부스터와 tool horn을 부착하여 공진에 의해 진폭의 증폭으로 큰 에너지를 얻고 있다. 그러나 부스터와 tool horndml의 고유 진동수가 진동자의 진동수와 일치하지 않을 경우에는 tool horn 의 끝단에 진동이 전달되지 않는 결과를 초래하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 유한 요소법을 이용하여 축대칭 및 3차원 형상의 tool horn에 대한 고유 진동수 계산 퍼스널 컴퓨터만으로도 tool horn을 설계할 수 있도록 하여 이 결과를 실용 tool horn 설계 제작에 손쉽게 이용할 수 있도록 하였다.

초음파는 의학적 진단 및 치료의 목적으로 널리 사용되어 왔다. 일반적으로, 초음파 조사의 생물학적 무해성은 많은 연구를 통하여 보고되었으나, 최근 초음파 집속을 통한 강력 초음파의 사용에 대한 열적 안전성 평가가 중요한 요소로 대두되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 강력 집속 초음파의 전달 에너지와 열적 분포를 측정하여 안전성 평가에 활용 가능한 초음파 열분포 팬텀을 제안하였다. 온도 분포 측정용 팬텀은 초음파 조직유사 팬텀 재료인 한천을 이용하였으며, 음향학적 특성의 유사성을 평가하였다. 온도 효과를 측정하기 위하여 $3{\times}3$의 형태로 온도 센서를 팬텀 내부에 배열하여 초음파 조사에 따른 온도 분포를 측정하였고 온도 측정을 위한 시스템을 개발하여, 초음파 가열 실험을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 초음파 온도 분포 측정용 팬텀의 유용성을 확인하였으며, 온도 분포용 팬텀을 통한 강력 집속 초음파 장비의 열적 성능 평가에 적용 될 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.
