Abstract
Rayleigh–Brillouin spectra of aqueous solutions of hydroxyl ammonium nitrate (HAN) and triethanol ammonium nitrate (TEAN) were studied at atmospheric pressure over a temperature range from 205 to 298 K. The hypersonic velocity and absorption coefficient of the phonons were calculated from the spectra as a function of temperature. The absorption due to viscosity and internal energy exchange through the relaxation mechanisms were considered. We find that both mechanisms are responsible for the absorption, but at the lower temperature, the one related to internal energy dominates. The free volume model was used to estimate the activation energy. This value is quite consistent with values calculated from the relaxation time. The effects of relaxation and the water concentration on mixtures of aqueous solutions of HAN and TEAN are also discussed.
