Design of a low pressure system to determine the acoustic nonlinearity parameter B/A for small volumes of sample liquids

Includes bibliographical references. === This thesis aimed to design a measurement system to obtain B/A readings for different liquids using the isentropic phase method. The resulting system uses a sinusoidal wave source that operates on less than 20kPa to pressurize a sample liquid of less than 0.2...
