Acoustic Measurements in Gases, Chapter 10

September 15, 2001
Author(s)
Michael R. Moldover, Keith A. Gillis, John J. Hurly, J B. Mehl, J Wilhelm
Cylindrical acoustic resonators developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are routinely used to measure the speed of sound in gases with uncertainties of 0.01% or less. The pressure dependence of the data is fitted with model

Speed of Sound as a Thermodynamic Property of Fluids

September 15, 2001

Daniel G. Friend
In this chapter, we review the principles of sound propagation in fluid systems. From a study of the hydrodynamic equations, sound propagation is shown to be a wave phenomenon. The speed of sound then can be derieved at any state point from a knowledge of

Vapor Entraining Magnetic Mixer for Reaction and Equilibrium Applications

Thomas J. Bruno, Michael C. Rybowiak
Mixing of fluids is a central component to innumerable operations in chemical processing on the plant floor and also in many laboratory operations. Most mixing applications simply require the efficient blending of fluids present in a single phase, such as
