In an effort to obtain a macroscopic model predicting the effect of ultrasonics on chemical reactions, irreversible thermodynamic coupling between the chemical reaction rate and the trace of the viscous pressure tensor is investigated. The analytical predictions of the proposed model will be verified by the presentation of experimental data showing the effect of ultrasonics on the reaction rates near equilibrium conditions for the hydrolysis of methyl acetate.
