In an ultrasonic processor, the input electrical energy undergoes many transformations before getting converted into the cavitation energy, which is dissipated in the medium to bring out the physical/chemical change. An investigation of the influence of free and dissolved gas content of the system on the efficiency of this energy transformation chain is attempted. The results of the experiments reveal that the cavitation intensity produced in the medium varies significantly with the gas content of the system. A unified physical model, which combines basic theories of acoustics and bubble dynamics, has been used to explain the experimental results. An attempt has been made to establish the mechanism of the steps in the energy transformation chain, the involved physical parameters, and interrelations between them. It has been found that the influence of free and dissolved gas content of the medium on the overall energy transformation occurs through a complex inter-dependence of several parameters. Thus, simultaneous optimization of individual steps in the energy transformation chain, with an integrated approach, is necessary for the optimization of an ultrasonic processor. The present study puts forth a simple methodology, with the gas content of the system as manipulation parameter, for this purpose.
