Acoustic black hole immersed sonoreactor for high-efficiency cavitation treatment
Abstract
Developing innovative sonoreactors to enhance acoustic processing efficiency holds immense importance in the field of sonochemistry. Traditional immersed sonoreactors (TISs) mainly produce cavitation at the probe tip, with a relatively weak cavitation around the probe, resulting in posing challenges for high-efficiency cavitation treatment. Here we propose an acoustic black hole immersed sonoreactor (ABHIS) in longitudinal-flexural coupled vibration, enabling high-efficiency cavitation treatment by unleashing the cavitation potential of the probe. The symmetrical structure of the probe is altered to introduce a coupling of flexural vibration mode, and an acoustic black hole (ABH) profile is integrated to further enhance both flexural wave number and amplitude. In this paper, we present a systematic theoretical design method for ABHIS and compare its performance with TIS using finite element method (FEM). An ABHIS prototype is fabricated and subjected to experimental tests and cavitation observation. The results demonstrate that our theoretical analysis model accurately predicts the frequency characteristics of ABHIS. The proposed ABHIS exhibits satisfactory dynamic characteristics, with significantly increased vibration displacement and acoustic radiation ability compared to TIS. Importantly, the ABH design significantly expands ultrasonic cavitation regions and enhances acoustic radiation intensity of ABHIS, resulting in a substantial improvement in acoustic processing…
