Performance Characteristics of an Ultrasonic Homogenizer by Analytical, Numerical and Experimental Methods

Abstract The following paper discusses the modeling of an ultrasonic homogenizer, and the characteristics obtained from the modeling and the results of experimental tests are examined and compared. Analytical solution method, electromechanical equivalent circuit, and finite element simulation can be used in designing and modeling an ultrasonic tool. This paper aims to compare three modeling methods to obtain the advantages and applications of each one. Experimental tests such as measuring the amplitude of the vibration using the inductive gap sensor and impedance test to calculate the impedance value in a frequency range have also been carried out. Finally, the data obtained from the experimental tests have been compared with the modeling results. A comparison of the results shows that for the design of an ultrasonic tool, design parameters such as resonance frequency and amplitude output of the tool can be obtained with good accuracy using modeling. The finite element method is a powerful tool for designing and modeling the ultrasonic system and determining its modal and harmonic characteristics.
