Possible heat and mass transfer enhancement mechanisms associated with integration of ultrasound were investigated and based on the variation of the permeate flux with frequency, the enhancement was mainly attributed to acoustic cavitation. The ultrasound-assisted enhancement increases with higher ultrasonic power and lower frequency, as well as lower feed temperature and higher concentration. Results show that applying low-power ultrasound can improve the permeate flux up to 24% compared to the same process without ultrasonic energy under the same operating conditions. The effects of ultrasonic power and frequency under different feed temperatures and concentrations were investigated experimentally. In this study, an S-VMD system that uses ultrasonic energy as an agitation technique is proposed.
