| Summary |
The industrial interest in ultrasonic processing has revived during recent years because ultrasonic technology may represent a flexible "green" alternative for more energy efficient processes. In the area of ultrasonic processing in fluid and multiphase media the development of a new family of power generators with extensive radiating surfaces has contributed to the implementation at industrial scale of several applications in sectors such as the food industry, environment and manufacturing. Topics include: fundamentals of nonlinear propagation of ultrasonic waves in fluids and solids; materials and designs of power ultrasonic transducers and devices; applications of high power ultrasound in materials engineering and mechanical engineering, food processing technology, environmental monitoring and remediation and industrial and chemical processing (including pharmaceuticals), medicine and biotechnology. -- Edited summary from book |
