The design of high power ultrasonic transducers
… is to investigate the design and construction of high power ultrasound transducers as well as some of the effects of high power ultrasound. The two design approaches that are researched and applied are the equivalent circuit method and Finite Element Method (FEM). These methods are used in …

Applications of ultrasound in pharmaceutical processing and analytics.
… of this research was to explore application of high power ultrasound in the slurry crystallisation and application of low power ultrasound (3.5 MHz) as process analytical technology (PAT) tool to understand pharmaceutical processing such as hot melt extrusion. The effect of high power ultrasound …

Development of positioning devices for MRI-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for abdominal, thyroid and brain, tumours
High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a promising technology for a variety of therapeutic applications. This concept initiated in 1942 by Lynn Zwemer [1]. HIFU has long been known as a minimal invasive or non-invasive procedure that destroys tissue through ablation. However, it is only in …

Semi-supervised detection of industrial fouling using ultrasound
… halting the process, which is costly. Recently, high-power ultrasound has become a viable option to these methods. In ultrasonic cleaning ultrasound is projected into the equipment from the outside, which means that the equipment does not need to be halted to perform cleaning. While the cleaning …

Fundamental research regarding the ultrasonic stirring effects on the microstructure of A356 castings
… acoustic streaming and propagation of ultrasound waves in media. However, the mechanism of how those effects happen are not fully understood and quantified. In this research, molten A356 alloy was treated with high power ultrasound at a frequency of 18 kHz, and then at relatively high …

Ultrasound Assisted Processing of Solid State Pharmaceuticals. The application of ultrasonic energy in novel solid state pharmaceutical applications, including solvent free co-crystallisation (SFCC) and enhanced compressibility
… conventional methods. A novel, solvent-free, high-power ultrasound (US) technique, for preparing co-crystals from binary systems, was chosen as the technology which could fulfil these aims. The application of this technology for solid state co-crystal preparation was explored for …
