Microstructural observation revealed long needle-shaped α-grains across the whole area in the pure Ti sample. On the other hand, smaller needle-shaped α-grains were found in the samples with TiC particles. However, the detailed microstructural analysis of Ti + 0.7vo l%TiC sample revealed that the fine α-grains observed in the Ti + 0.7vo l%TiC are transformed from single grain of prior β phase. This is because the TiC particles dissolve into the molten Ti during the electrostatic levitation experiment. Instead, Ti–rich TiC precipitates formed by cooling can act as pinning sites rather than heterogeneous nucleation sites, which results in a finer microstructure for the samples with TiC particles during the electrostatic levitation experiment. The density of the samples is linearly related to the temperature, and it decreases with increasing temperature. In addition, a higher density is observed for the samples with TiC particles.

Despite the promising reported values, a crucial consideration entails the method of ascertaining effective thermal conductivity, necessitating measurements in bulk samples to ensure accurate representations. Graphite, owing to its commercial accessibility and commendable thermal conductivity, emerges as a standout candidate for composite material development, as demonstrated in recent research.

Computational simulations of HIFU can assist clinicians by predicting the death of target tissues, identifying sensitive healthy tissues that risk thermal damage, and optimizing acoustic power delivery to minimize treatment times and maximize treatment efficacy. Accurate simulations require accurate inputs, and many computational solvers neglect property changes induced by tissue heating during treatment. Additionally, temperature-dependent tissue property data in the literature are relatively scarce. This study presents methodology for characterizing temperature-dependent acoustic and thermal properties in ex vivo porcine muscle tissue. From 20 – 50 °C, speed of sound is found to increase from approximately 1580 – 1620 m/s. The acoustic attenuation coefficient increases for 20 – 50 °C from 0.09 – 0.24 Np/cm at 0.5 MHz and 0.16 – 0.37 Np/cm at 1.6 MHz. Thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity increase from 0.52 – 0.55 W/m °C and 0.147 – 0.158 mm<sup>2</sup>/s, respectively, over 20 – 60 °C. Specific heat capacity increases from approximately 3500 – 3800 J/kg °C, over 20 – 80 °C.

Temperature-dependent predictive models are also developed for each of the five properties.

The interfacial tension is a key parameter when considering the multiphase flow composed of water and guests. The density influences the behavior of clathrate hydrates within the reactor.
