Direct and indirect measurement techniques of cavitation intensity: a brief review

Abstract

Cavitation has been one of the critical issues in turbomachinery operation which often causes the reduction of service life of the components. In order to predict the service life, cavitation intensity (CI) needs to be measured accurately. In this paper, several notable developments of techniques to measure CI are reviewed briefly. Those techniques can be classified into two groups, i.e. direct and indirect measurements. For the indirect technique, a method which estimates the impact load of bubble collapse by inverse analysis is particularly elaborated. For the direct technique, a method which utilizes painting technique to quantify the actual CI is specifically presented. The advantages and disadvantages of both direct and indirect techniques are also discussed.

Effect of Frequency and Duration of Thermosonication on the Physical, Chemical and Microbiological Quality of Cow's Milk

“…The alternating compression and expansion creates areas of pressure changes that result in the cavitation phenomenon (Dolas et al, 2019). The collapse of these cavitation bubbles has a highly destructive effect on the chilling of bacterial cells (Triawan et al, 2019). The effects on food products are affected by several factors such as temperature, processing time, frequency, ultrasonic power (Carrillo-Lopez et al, 2021;Scudino et al, 2020).…”

Bacterial Cell Inactivation Using a Single-Frequency Batch-Type Ultrasound Device

“…Ultrasound technology has been developed for various applications, among which are microbial cell inactivation and DNA extraction (Chemat et al, 2011). Cavitation occurs when vapor bubbles form in a fluid due to a drop-in pressure below the saturated pressure (Triawan et al, 2019). Using ultrasonic technology, this pressure drop is provided by a fluctuating transducer.…”
