Abstract:This study presents the development of a technique to directly investigate the effect of ultrasonic waves at 25 and 68 kHz and 100, 250, and 500 W on the viscosity of paraffin, synthetic oil, and kerosene. Experiments were performed under both controlled and uncontrolled temperature conditions in a smooth capillary tube. The results indicate that the viscosity of the liquids decreases upon exposure to ultrasound and may be attributed to induced heat generation and cavitation within the fluid. The specifics of ultrasound frequency, power, and temperature on viscosity reduction are discussed and interpreted.
Keywords:ultrasound  viscosity  smooth capillary tube  frequency  power
