Radiation-Induced Acoustic Cavitation; Threshold Versus Temperature for Some Liquids.
Abstract
Neutron thresholds at various temperatures were measured for methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, n-pentane, diethyl ether, fluorocarbon 113 and fluorocarbon 11, and fission thresholds were similarly measured for water, 1-propanol and 2-propanol. The work was done in 1969, but not reported then. It is presented here. A copy of a paper in which it was shown, among other things, that reproducible data on acoustic cavitation could be got by the substitution of nuclei of cavitation produced by ionizing radiation for those highly variable ones which occur naturally and often adventitiously.
