How to Calculate and Solve for Speed of Sound in Molten Metal | Energy Transport
Last Updated on September 24, 2021
The image above represents speed of sound in molten metal.
To compute for speed of sound in molten metal, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Melting Temperature (Tm) and Molecular Weight (M).
The formula for calculating speed of sound in molten metal:
us = 16(Tm / M)0.5
Where:
us = Speed of Sound in Molten Metal
Tm = Melting Temperature
M = Molecular Weight
Let’s solve an example;
Find the speed of sound in molten metal when the melting temperature is 24 and the molecular weight is 12.
This implies that;
Tm = Melting Temperature = 24
M = Molecular Weight = 12
us = 16(Tm / M)0.5
us = 16(24 / 12)0.5
us = 16(2)0.5
us = 16(1.414)
us = 22.627
Therefore, the speed of sound in molten metal is 22.627 m/s.
