Ultrasonic Equipment and Chemical Reactor Design

With so many chemists turning to ultrasound as a source of energy for the acceleration or modification of chemical reactivity it becomes increasingly important that some of the electrical engineering principles which underpin the whole topic of sonochemistry are understood. The first part of this chapter is intended to provide an introduction to the principles of generation of ultrasound for the non-specialist. It is to be hoped that a chemist, armed ivith this information, will be in a much better position to decide on the type of equipment most appropriate for the intended laboratory application.
