Nonlinear ultrasonic nature of organic liquid and organic liquid mixture

Abstract

Based on Jacobson’s molecular free length theory in liquids and the relationship between ultrasonic velocity and the molecular free length in organic liquids, this paper deduces the equations for pressure coefficient and temperature coefficient of ultrasonic velocity and nonlinear acoustic parameter B/ A in both of organic liquid and organic liquid binary mixtures. These nonlinear acoustic parameters are evaluated against the measured results and data from other sources. The equations reveal the connections between the nonlinear acoustic parameters and some internal structural of the medium or mixtures e.g. the sizes of molecule, several thermodynamic physical parameters and outside status e.g. condition of pressure and temperature of the liquid or liquid mixture. With the equations the nonlinear acoustic parameter B/ A of organic liquid binary mixtures, which is impossible to know without the nonlinear acoustic parameter B/ A of the tow components before, can be calculated based on the structural and physical parameters of organic liquid and organic liquid binary mixtures.
