Abstrakt: Piezoelectric transducers are commonly used to generate ultrasonic waves. The ultrasonic waves produced by the piezoelectric transducer can cause cavitation, which leads to the formation and collapse of tiny bubbles. This cavitation process helps to break down any agglomerates or clusters of particles in the nano fluids, thereby reducing their size and improving their dispersibility. Incorporating a piezoelectric transducer in the coolant tank of a CNC machine can be an effective way to supply nano fluids during machining. Nano fluids are suspensions of nanoparticles in a base fluid and have unique properties that make them ideal for use in machining applications. These properties include high thermal conductivity, low viscosity, and good wetting ability, which help to improve the heat transfer between the cutting tool and the workpiece and reduce friction. The piezoelectric transducer can be used to agitate the nano fluid and keep the nanoparticles uniformly dispersed in the base fluid. This can help to prevent the settling of the nanoparticles and ensure that the nano fluid is delivered consistently to the machining area. Additionally, the ultrasonic waves produced by the piezoelectric transducer can help to break down any clusters or agglomerates of nanoparticles, further improving their dispersibility. Overall, incorporating a piezoelectric transducer in the coolant tank of a CNC machine can be an effective way to supply nano fluids during machining. By using ultrasonic waves to agitate and disperse the nanoparticles in the base fluid, it is possible to improve the heat transfer and reduce friction during machining, leading to better machining performance and improved surface quality.
