A new simple method of ultrasonic velocity and attenuation measurement in a high absorption liquid J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 81, 947 (1987); 10.1121/1.394574
Ultrasonic velocity and attenuation in mammalian tissuesThe velocity and attenuation of 30-MHz sound waves were measured in liquid neon from 25 to 37°K at pressures to 28 kg/em'. The values of the velocity, extrapolated to the vapor pressure curve, are from 1.5% higher at 25°K to 0.4% higher at 32°K than corresponding values reported for 2-GHz sound waves. This negative dispersion is in agreement with recent predictions by Fleury and Boon. Values of the attenuation exceed the classical values calculated from the Navier-Stokes equation. This excess attenuation is attributed to a volume viscosity of the same magnitude as the shear viscosity. No anomaly in the temperature dependence of either velocity or attenuation was observed near the temperature where an anomaly has been reported for thermal conductivity, shear viscosity, and hypersonic velocity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
