Temperature is an important parameter for many medical and biological applications. It is key to measuring the temperature of acoustofluidics devices for controlling the device’s temperature. In this paper, Rhodamine B was used to measure the temperature change of the microchannel induced by the SSAWs’ thermal effect in microfluidics. A thermocouple was integrated into the microfluidics device to calibrate the relationship between the fluorescent intensity ratios of Rhodamine B and the temperature. Then, the fluid temperature in the microchannel heated by the SSAWs was measured by the fluorescent signal intensity ratio in the acoustofluidics device. The fluid temperature with different input voltages and different flow rates was measured. The results show that SSAWs can heat the still fluid rapidly to 80 °c, and the flow rates will influence the temperature of the fluid. The results will be useful for precisely controlling the temperature of acoustofluidics devices.

Considerable and continuing interest has been shown in the thin film transducer fabrication for surface acoustic waves (SAW) in the past few years. Due to the high degree of miniaturization, compatibility with silicon integrated circuit technology, simplicity and ease of design, this new technology has played an important role in the design of new devices for communications and signal processing. Among the commonly used piezoelectric thin films, ZnO generally yields superior electromechanical properties and is expected to play a leading role in the development of SAW devices.

Abstract Topics of this article concern the study of the fundamental nature of the sonoluminescence phenomenon occurring in liquids. At the Institute of Electrical Power Engineering at Opole University of Technology the interest in that phenomenon known as secondary phenomenon of cavitation caused by ultrasound became the genesis of a research project concerning acoustic cavitation in mineral insulation oils in which a number of additional experiments performed in the laboratory aimed to determine the influence of a number of acoustic parameters on the process of the studied phenomenona. The main purpose of scientific research subject undertaken was to determine the relationship between the generation of partial discharges in high-voltage power transformer insulation systems, the issue of gas bubbles in transformer oils and the generated acoustic emission signals. It should be noted that currently in the standard approach, the phenomenon of generation of acoustic waves accompanying the occurrence of partial discharges is generally treated as a secondary phenomenon, but it can also be a source of many other related phenomena. Based on our review of the literature data on those referred subjects taken, it must be noted, that this problem has not been clearly resolved, and the description of the relationship between these phenomena is still an open question. This study doesn’t prove all in line with the objective of the study, but can be an inspiration for new research project in the future in this topic. Solution of this problem could be a step forward in the diagnostics of insulation systems for electrical power devices based on non-invasive acoustic emission method.
