Abstract
This thesis, conducted in collaboration with the ‘Universit`a degli Studi di Perugia’, aims to analyze the potential of sonolysis and photo-sonolysis in the context of hydrogen production. The primary objective of this research is to investigate the phenomena of acoustic cavitation within a cylindrical sono-reactor and to determine the feasibility of accurately simulating these phenomena within a MATLAB environment. To achieve this objective, a methodology composed of two steps has been employed. The first step involves the implementation of a mathematical model within the MATLAB environment. The second step focuses on the experimental acquisition of pressure data within the reactor using a dedicated measurement setup, followed by signal post-processing in MATLAB.
This methodology yield time-evolving pressure maps of the reactor and pressure-height plots at specific points, which allows for a direct comparison between the simulated and experimental data
