The effect of ultrasonic waves on oil viscosity

This study presents the development of a technique to directly investigate the effect of ultrasonic waves at 25 and 68 kHz and 100, 250, and 500 W on the viscosity of paraffin, synthetic oil, and kerosene. Experiments were performed under both controlled and uncontrolled temperature conditions in a...
