✦ Synopsis

The acoustic mixer presented in this paper is a closed cylinder containing chemical solutions. The ultrasound was generated in a water bath outside of the cylinder. The mixing efficiency was measured by using a laser-photodiode system and by mixing iodine and sodium thiosulfate. Iodine solution has a light brown color which becomes transparent if the solution is mixed with sodium thiosulfate. The unmixed regions of the solution in the container remain dark. Starch was used to make the solution darker. Considering the relative position between the cylinder and the transducer, it was shown that displacements parallel to the axes of the streaming have little effect on the mixing speed. Indeed, the distance of the cylinder from the center of the streaming is more important to obtain ideal mixing performances. The frequency and size of the transducers has been investigated too and little effect was found. In contrast, the wave amplitude seems to be the biggest factor in obtaining rapid mixing.
