Abstract
IntroductionA COMSOL Multiphysics® model was made to design a mechanical amplifier and radiationplate for the emission of high intensity 40.5 kHz ultrasound to air by means of a Langevin typetransducer usually applied in cleaning baths for example. In this work, ultrasonic irradiation isaimed at acting on flue gas containing fine particulate matter to realize a shift to higher effectiveparticle sizes as a result of induced particle agglomeration.
A commercially available Langevin type Bolt-Clamped ultrasonic transducer has been takenapart, measured, and modeled using COMSOL Multiphysics®. The simulation results wereverified by laser Doppler velocimetry (Figure 2). After that a solid horn and radiation plate weredesigned to generate a maximum amplitude of radiation at the desired frequency. The horn andplate were fabricated and tested again with the Laser Doppler velocimeter (figure 3).
ResultsThe COMSOL Multiphysics® model simulations resulted in a quite accurate prediction of theresonance frequency and mode shape up to 70kHz (higher frequencies may cause mode shapeswhich are not axi-symetric and are not relevant for this work). (Figure 2 & 3). The amplitude ofthis resonance depends on factors including the material damping and is fitted to experimentalresults using the Isotropic loss factor.
