Numerical simulation of operational parameters and sonoreactor configurations for the highest possibility of acoustic cavitation in crude oil
Abstract
Pressure distribution, caused by ultrasonic wave propagation, has a crucial effect on the efficiency of a sonoreactor for crude oil upgrading. In this study, acoustic pressure distribution was computed by numerical solution of the acoustic wave propagation equation in a crude oil sonoreactor. By analyzing numerical simulation results, optimum geometrical and operational parameters, comprising type and probe size, probe depth in bulk of crude oil, dimensions, shape of reactor, frequency, and sound power, were evaluated for the highest possibility of cavitation, chemical, and physical changes. Moreover, the effect of probe location on pressure distribution was investigated. The results show the important effect of probe location on pressure distribution due to change of wave reflection angles.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
