Ultrasonic Absorption in Acetic Acid at 450 kc./s. by the Calorimetric Method

Abstract

CALORIMETRIC measurements based on thermosonic principles have successfully been used1,2 for the determination of ultrasonic absorption in liquids at frequencies of 5 Mc./s. and above. Recently it has been possible to extend this method to measurements in acetic acid at 450 kc./s.
