Emulsification mechanism in an ultrasonic microreactor: Influence of surface roughness and ultrasound frequency

An ultrasonic microreactor with rough microchannels is presented in this study for oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion generation. Previous accounts have shown that surface pits or imperfections localize and enhance cavitation activity. In this study cavitation bubbles are localized on the rough microchanne...
