A Feasibility Study of Vortex Tube-Powered Membrane Distillation (MD) for Desalination

This work theoretically studies the capability of using vortex tubes to provide the necessary heating and cooling energies required by a typical direct-contact membrane distillation (MD) process. The vortex tube generates a temperature separation that can supply the membrane distillation process wit...
