Ultrasonic enhanced chemical reactors have been used for decades. Cavitation, which results in dramatic increases in temperature and pressure, is responsible for the chemical and physical effects of ultrasound. Presented is a new model, which enables the calculation of linear three‐dimensional pressure fields in any sonochemical reactor in a liquid with a nonhomogeneous density distribution of cavitation bubbles.
