EXTRACTION OF WATER FROM A CAPILLARY SAMPLE IN AN ACOUSTIC FIELD
Yu. G. Korobeinikov and A. V. Fedorov UDC 532.72;669.015.23 Results of a theoretical analysis of experimental data on the acoustic drying of a model capillary sample are presented. It is shown that most of the water is extracted from the sample in the form of microdroplets. The droplet size is evaluated.
