Abstract
The propagation of small perturbations in raulticomponent disperse media consisting of an uncharged dispersion fluid, positive and negative ions and charged particles or droplets of another fluid is investigated. When weak waves pass through emulsions and suspensions, because of the difference in the velocities of the ions and charged particles a non-uniform distribution of electric potential develops in the medium [1–3]. Expressions relating the amplitude of the electric potential and the amplitude of the fluid velocity in the wave, the particle charge and the parameters characterizing the medium are derived. Relations are obtained for the phase shift between the values of the electric potential and the fluid velocity. It is proposed to use the expressions obtained, which describe the propagation of ultrasound, for the experimental determination of the particle charge and other parameters of the disperse medium, in particular, the particle size.
