“…Ultrasound has been previously studied as a quality control tool for the manufacture of a wide-range of chemical products (Dion & Burns, 2011b;Sarkar & Roy, 2009;Sreekanth, Kondaiah, Sravana Kumar, & Krishna Rao, 2012), and as a diagnostic tool to determine the molecular interaction between pure liquids, solutions and liquid mixtures (Kondaiah, Sreekanth, Sravana Kumar, & Krishna Rao, 2014;Nanda, Nanda, & Mohanty, 2012;Syal, Thakur, Literature Review 32 Chauhan, & Sharma, 2005), since it provides a non-destructive, rapid and low-cost measurement. More specifically, an experimental study conducted by Laux et al (Laux, Lévêque, & Cereser Camara, 2009) investigated the suitability of aqueous sorbitol solutions as a coupling fluid between an ultrasonic transducer and the material to be examined, aimed at reducing energy loss caused by significant mismatching between these two materials.…”
