Abstract
This paper aims at investigating the influence of acoustic streaming induced by low-frequency (24kHz) ultrasound irradiation on mass transfer in a two-phase system. The main objective is to discuss the possible mass transfer improvements under ultrasound irradiation. Three analyses were conducted: i) experimental analysis of mass transfer under ultrasound irradiation; ii) comparative analysis between the results of the ultrasound assisted mass transfer with that obtained from mechanically stirring; and iii) computational analysis of the systems using 3D CFD simulation. In the experimental part, the interactive effects of liquid rheological properties, ultrasound power and superficial gas velocity on mass transfer were investigated in two different sonicators. The results were then compared with that of mechanical stirring. In the computational part, the results were illustrated as a function of acoustic streaming behaviour, fluid flow pattern, gas/liquid volume fraction and turbulence in the two-phase system and finally the mass transfer coefficient was specified. It was found that additional turbulence created by ultrasound played the most important role on intensifying the mass transfer phenomena compared to that in stirred vessel. Furthermore, long residence time which depends on geometrical parameters is another key for mass transfer. The results obtained in the present study would help researchers understand the role of ultrasound as an energy source and acoustic streaming as one of the most important of ultrasound waves on intensifying gas-liquid mass transfer in a two-phase system and can be a breakthrough in the design procedure as no similar studies were found in the existing literature.

Abstract
This paper reports the use of acoustic waves for promoting and improving streaming in tridimensional polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cuvettes of 15mm width×14mm height×2.5mm thickness. The acoustic waves are generated by a 28μm thick poly(vinylidene fluoride) - PVDF - piezoelectric transducer in its β phase, actuated at its resonance frequency: 40MHz. The acoustic transmission properties of two materials - SU-8 and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) - were numerically compared. It was concluded that PDMS inhibits, while SU-8 allows, the transmission of the acoustic waves to the propagation medium. Therefore, by simulating the acoustic transmission properties of different materials, it is possible to preview the acoustic behavior in the fluidic system, which allows the optimization of the best layout design, saving costs and time. This work also presents a comparison between numerical and experimental results of acoustic streaming obtained with that β-PVDF transducer in the movement and in the formation of fluid recirculation in tridimensional closed domains. Differences between the numerical and experimental results are credited to the high sensitivity of acoustic streaming to the experimental conditions and to limitations of the numerical method. The reported study contributes for the improvement of simulation models that can be extremely useful for predicting the acoustic effects of new materials in fluidic devices, as well as for optimizing the transducers and matching layers positioning in a fluidic structure.

Abstract
This study aims at analysing the jet-like acoustic streaming generated under low-frequency and high-power ultrasound irradiation and comparing it with fluid streaming generated by traditional mechanical mixing. The main characteristics of fluid flow, which include radial, axial and tangential terms of velocity and their effects on fluid flow pattern, pressure distribution, axial mixing time and turbulence intensity were considered at different power inputs. Both 3D CFD simulation and Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) were used in this study. The CFD results indicated that the jet-like acoustic streaming reached the velocity magnitude of 145 cm/s at 400 W, which reduced the mixing time to 1.38 s. However, the minimum mixing time of 3.18 s corresponding to the impeller rotational speed of 800 RPM was observed for mechanical stirring. A uniform axial flow pattern was generated under ultrasound irradiation whereas the tangential flow pattern was more prominent in the stirred vessel. Besides, the highest turbulence was observed in the vicinity of the ultrasound transducer and impeller with the values of 138% and 82% for the ultrasonicator and stirred vessel, respectively. The predicted fluid flow pattern under ultrasound irradiation was in a reasonable agreement with that obtained from PIV, with a reasonable accuracy.
