Development of an Ultrasonic Velocimeter System for the Study of Acoustic and Thermodynamic Properties of Liquids.

Abstract

An ultrasonic velocimeter system using two nearly identical velocimeters was developed that could measure the differences in speeds of sound between pure liquids and solutions over the pressure range ambient to 2000 psi and the temperature range ambient to 100C. Accuracy of two parts in 1/one million in frequency corresponding to an average deviation in the speed for sound of 0.3 cm/sec is demonstrated. (Author)
