Description
This book is a comprehensive and practical guide to the use of ultrasonic techniques for the characterization of fluids. Focusing on ultrasonic
velocimetry, the author covers the basic topics and techniques necessaryfor successful ultrasound measurements on emulsions, dispersions,
multiphase media, and viscoelastic/viscoplastic materials. Advanced techniques such as scattering, particle sizing, and automation are
also presented. As a handbook for industrial and scientific use, Ultrasonic Techniques for Fluids Characterization is
an indispensable guide to chemists and chemical engineers using ultrasound for research or process monitoring in the chemical, food processing,
pharmaceutical, cosmetic, biotechnology,and fuels industries.
Audience
Chemists, chemical engineers and materials scientists; medical physicists, cell biologists, biochemists, and biotechnologists, students.
