  • Analysis of a caustic formed by a spherical reflector: Impact of a caustic on architectural acoustics

    Publication

    Focusing sound in rooms intended for listening to music or speech is an acoustic defect. Design recommendations provide remedial steps to effectively prevent this. However, there is a category of objects of high historical or architectural value in which the sound focus correction is limited or even abandoned. This also applies to indoor or outdoor concert shells, installations for teaching and acoustic presentations, etc. The...

  • The Caustic in the Acoustics of Historic Interiors

    Publication

    In the paper, caustics are discussed as ordered forms of focus broadening occurring in concave mirrors. Presented are examples of caustics formed in natural conditions and application of the phenomenon in different fields of science and technology. Against this factual background, the possibility to observe caustics in rooms is pointed out. Special emphasis is put on large rooms of historic character, as such interiors frequently...

  • IMPACT OF CAUSTICS ON ACOUSTICS OF WHISPERING GROTTOES IN THE OLIWA PARK IN GDAŃSK

    Publication

    - Year 2017

    In the paper, caustics are discussed as ordered forms of focus broadening occurring in concave mirrors. An example of caustics created by the reflection of the light from the concave mirror is shown. Against this background, the possibility to observe caustics in rooms is pointed out. Special emphasis is put on large rooms of historic character, as such interiors frequently include acoustic mirrors in the form of arched vaults...

  • Do Leonardo da Vinci’s drawings, room acoustics and radio astronomy have anything in common?

    Publication

    After introducing Leonardo da Vinci’s (LdV) predecessors in the field of light propagation research, his drawings on the topic of reflecting light by a spherical mirror are analysed. The discovery of LdV is presented, according to which, at an infinitely distant source of rays, a small fragment of the canopy is enough to generate a focus, while the rest of the mirror forms a caustic for which LdV did not indicate an application....

  • New Procedures for Control of Industrial Effluents Treatment Processes

    This work presents the procedures for monitoring volatile organic compounds during treatment of industrial effluents. The investigation was carried out for a specific effluent—caustic effluent from bitumen production. The developed procedures enable more detailed control of the effectiveness of wastewater treatment than standard procedures. Caustic effluents from bitumen production have a complex physicochemical form and consist...

  • WPŁYW KAUSTYKI NA AKUSTYKĘ GROT SZEPTÓW W PARKU OLIWSKIM W GDAŃSKU

    Publication

    - Year 2017

    W pracy omówiono kaustykę jako uporządkowaną formę rozmycia ogniska, tworzonego przez zwierciadło wklęsłe. Zaprezentowano przykład kaustyki powstającej przy odbiciu światła od zwierciadła wklęsłego. Na tym tle wskazano na możliwość powstawania kaustyk w pomieszczeniach. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na duże pomieszczenia o charakterze historycznym, ze względu na częstą obecność w nich zwierciadeł akustycznych w postaci sklepień i...

  • Effective degradation of sulfide ions and organic sulfides in cavitation-based Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs)

    Publication

    - ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY - Year 2019

    The paper presents the results of investigations on the effectiveness and reaction rate constants of the oxidation of sulfide ions and organic sulfides in real industrial effluents from the production of bitumens (2000 mg S2- L-1) using hydrodynamic and acoustic cavitation. The content of the effluents was analysed in terms carbon disulfide, dimethyl sulfide, and di-tert-butyl disulfide concentration. A possibility of complete...

  • Wastewater treatment by means of Advanced Oxidation Processes at basic pH conditions: A review

    Publication

    - CHEMICAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL - Year 2017

    Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been used as an alternative and effective option for treatment of industrial wastewater, especially in the case of the non-biodegradable compounds. Despite of several well developed AOPs, the majority of them are effective only at acidic or neutral pH, namely Fenton related processes, making the list of available effective advanced oxidation technologies strongly limited. In many cases,...
