The effect of a water hammer on cavitating solution of isopropyl alcohol

A study of the effect of the water hammer' magnitude on cavitating aqueous solution of isopropyl alcohol has been conducted. It is shown that with the right amplitude of water hammer, it is possible to form the phase composition of carbon nanoparticles in solution by changing the processes occurring during the collapse of cavitation bubbles. The crystal lattice' parameters of the obtained carbon nanoparticles were measured, and assumptions were made regarding the graphene-diamond composite structure as well as the observed shapes of the nanoparticles.
