Theory of Cavitation and Design Aspects of Cavitational Reactors... 

Design of sonochemical reactors is a very important parameter in deciding the net cavitational effects. Use of multiple transducers and multiple frequencies with possibility of variable power dissipation is recommended. Theoretical analysis for predicting the cavitational activity distribution is recommended for optimization of the geometry of the reactor including the transducer locations in the case of multiple transducer reactors. Use of process intensifying parameters at zones with minimum cavitational intensity should help in enhancing the net cavitational effects.
