Ultrasonic velocity measurements are carried out on fournOmcompounds viz., N-(p-n-methoxy and ethoxy benzylidene)-p-n-dodecyl and tetradecyl anilines, 1O.12, 1O.14, 2O.12 and 2O.14. The first three compounds exhibit mono variant nematic phase while the last compound exhibits nematic and smectic-A phases with variable thermal ranges. The temperature dependence of sound velocity, U shows minima at the isotropic-nematic and nematic-smectic-A transitions. In conjunction with the density data of these compounds, the thermo acoustic parameters such as adiabatic compressibility (βad), the molar sound velocity (Rao’s number) (Rn), molar compressibility (W), molecular free length (Lf) and available volume (Va) are estimated. In addition the intermolecular free length (Lf) is estimated in three different ways employing density and ultrasonic velocity data. The results are compared with the data available in literature of other compounds.

The variation of ultrasonic velocity in N (p-n-heptyloxy benzylidene)p-n-butyl aniline, (HyBBA) with temperature in isotropic, nematic, smectic-A, smectic-C and smectic-G phases is measured. All the phase transitions I-N, N-SA, SA-SC and SC-SG are found to be of first order. The adiabatic compressibility βad, molar sound velocity or Rao number Rn, and molar compressibility or Wada constant AW are computed. Rn and AW of HyBBA are compared with theoretical values and found to be in good agreement with the theory.

The modification of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) polymer properties with irradiation is of interest as it possesses unique piezo-, pyro-, and ferroelectric properties. In this paper, we report the results of acoustic parameters of irradiated PVDF mixed with dimethylacetamide (DMAC) solution with low energy γ-source (Cs-137). The polymer solution covered with mica film assures only γ-ray passage and the duration was increased from 18 to 50 hours to achieve the higher dose rate. The dose rate was estimated using the strength of the radioactive source and the duration of the exposure. The ultrasonic velocity (v), density (ρ), and viscosity (η) of 0.2 wt% and 0.5 wt% PVDF dissolved in pure DMAC solution, irradiated with different dose rate were measured using ultrasonic interferometer (Mittal make), Pyknometer, and Oswald’s viscometer, respectively. It is observed that the values of v, ρ, and η change with dose rate. The acoustic parameters such as adiabatic compressibility (β), intermolecular free path length (Lf), acoustic impedance (Z), relative association (RA), ultrasonic attenuation (α/f2), and relaxation time (τ) are calculated using the experimental data. These results are interpreted in terms of the solute-solvent interaction in a polymer solution and scissoring chain damage.

Nanoparticles exhibit unusual properties in contrast with their bulk properties due to small particle size and quantum confinement. In the present work, ultrasonic velocity and density measurements have been carried out in solutions of silver nanoparticles in micellar dispersion of cetyl tri-metyl ammonium bromide, CTAB. Ultrasonic velocity measurements at different concentrations of surfactant and temperatures were carried out using Sing-Around technique, operated at 2MHz. It is observed that ultrasonic velocity and adiabatic compressibility show abnormal behaviour with increase in concentration of CTAB in the solution, indicating the existence of the phase separations in nano-colloidal solution.

The ultrasonic velocity, density and viscosity at 303 K have been measured in the binary systems of toluene with benzene ando-xylone with benzene. The acoustical parameters such as adiabatic compressibility, free length, free volume and acoustical impedance are calculated. The results are interpreted in terms of molecular interaction between the components of the mixtures

Abstract Specific volume and ultrasonic velocity measurements have been carried out on the liquid crystal N-(p-n-hexyloxybenzylidene)-p-n-butylaniline in the isotropic, nematic, smectic A, smectic B and smectic G phases. The variation of the specific volume with temperature shows that the corresponding transitions are of first order. Thermal expansion coefficients have been calculated for all the mesophases. The ultrasonic velocity variation with temperature confirms the transitions.

Oils are commonly used in cooking as a frying medium which has been constantly subjected to different levels of heating. In this work, we have considered the most commonly used oils namely peanut oil and corn oil. Quality analyses of corn and peanut oils were made by relating macroscopic properties (ultrasonic velocity, viscosity, and density) to microscopic parameters (intermolecular free length, adiabatic compressibility etc.,) by subjecting them to six cycles of heating (190 ˚C). Variation in the mentioned property indexes, the degree of degradation and reusability for the next heating cycle that could be used in the food industry and processing were monitored. Using Newton-Laplace and Wood’s equation, the adiabatic compressibility, acoustic impedance, and intermolecular free length of the oil were estimated from the experimental data. Ultrasonic velocity was observed linearly as related to viscosity with the dependency factor (R2 = 0.932). With the aid of experiential data, the physical thermodynamic parameters, particularly particle size, packing factor, chemical potential, and L-J potential were computed. A high correlation factor was observed by fitting ultrasonic velocity, viscosity, and density to Parthasarathy and Bakshi, and Rodenbush equations. In the study, ultrasonic velocity, a macroscopic parameter, could be decoded to determine the microscopic variations in oil subjected to different temperatures in an industrial application.

Ultrasonic studies provide a wealth of information in understanding the molecular behavior and intermolecular interaction of polymer solvent mixtures. Attempts were made to measure ultrasonic velocity, density, and viscosity for the mixture of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) in acetone and dimethylformamide (DMF) of various stoichiometric ratios at 300 K using crystal controlled ultrasonic interferometer (Mittal make), pyknometer (specific gravity bottle), and Ostwald viscometer, respectively. The acoustic parameters adiabatic compressibility (β), intermolecular free path length (Lf), acoustic impedance (Z), relative association (RA), ultrasonic attenuation (α/f2), and relaxation time (τ) have been estimated using experimental data with well-known techniques. The variation of these acoustic parameters is explained in terms of solute-solvent molecular interaction in a polymer solution.

Ultrasonic velocity is an important parameter, characterizing the state of the system. It can be determined experimentally by using Ultrasonic Interferometer. A brief discussion of ultrasonic interferometer and mode of determining ultrasonic velocities is given. The present paper deals with the experimental determination of ultrasonic velocities and adiabatic compressibility’s of ethylene glycols and higher homologous. From the ultrasonic velocity, closely related parameters like molar sound velocity, molar compressibility, and Vander Waal’s constant ….etc. are evaluated. The variations in ultrasonic velocity and related parameters with degree of polymerization and a phenomenal reasoning for the same are also permuted. key words: Ultrasonic velocity, Adiabatic Compressibility, Molar sound velocity, Molar compressibility, Vander Waal’s Constant and Inter Molecular Free length
