Acoustic levitation facility for high pressure multiphase systems research

该项目旨在创建一个专门的声悬浮设施，在高压连续相中精确控制悬浮颗粒/液滴/气泡，并同时测量多种体积和界面特性。声悬浮使无容器实验成为可能，为应用工程和基础科学提供了机会。这种声悬浮系统将与专用的拉曼成像显微镜集成，以研究结晶，传质和分子交换，应用领域包括能量传输，碳捕获和储存，以及蛋白质成核。该项目有望在工程、化学和物理学领域开辟新的途径。

This project aims to create a specialised acoustic levitation facility that delivers precise control of a suspended particle/droplet/bubble within a high pressure continuous phase, and simultaneous measurement of multiple bulk and interfacial properties. Acoustic levitation enables container-less experiments, offering opportunities for applied engineering and fundamental science. This acoustic levitation system will be integrated with a specialised Raman imaging microscope to study crystallisation, mass transfer and molecular exchange, in application areas including energy transport, carbon capture and storage, and protein nucleation. This project is expected to open new avenues in engineering, chemistry and physics.
