The influence of clustering processes in gases on the speed of sound and its absorption

Abstract

It is proved that the processes of clustering effect on the gas adiabatic index and the speed of sound in it. The formula obtained for the ratio of specific heats contains the energy of the dimmer and trimmer, monomer concentration and the factor associated with the frequency of the sound wave. This shows that the adiabatic index and the speed of sound, as well as its absorption should depend on the frequency of oscillations, and the degree of clustering.
