Abstract:
The steady single-bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL) under the proper conditions of resonance frequencies △
f/
f0(~10
-4,
f0=21 kHz) and sound pressure
Pa (1.2 atm~1.5 atm) at room temperature was successfully obtained. The sound pressure
Pa-dependent dynamic behaviors of the bubble, including its radius versus time curve
R(t), ambient radius
R0, and the compression radio
Rmax/
R0, were investigated by fitting the Mie scattering measurement data to Rayleigh-Plesset equation. Meanwhile the energy dissipation of the bubble through rebound by calculating its potential energy was estimated. It is found that
Rmax/
R0 increased with
Pa, while the ratio of bubble's rebound energy to its total energy decreased (10
-1~10
-3), which indicated that most energy of the bubble was transformed into thermal energy and/or generating the imploding shock wave.
