Vacuum membrane distillation is modeled for the purification of water containing organic matter. The separation medium is a hollow‐fiber membrane contactor that is simplified to a two‐dimensional structure with a single porous membrane wall. The model considers the transport phenomena of a vacuum membrane distillation system in porous media, in which the aqueous volatile organic solution was considered as an incompressible and steady fluid. The numerical simulation of the two‐dimensional model of vacuum membrane distillation for an aqueous solution of 1,1,1‐trichloroethane was established under steady state. The effects of the bulk feed temperature and the feed flow rate on the percentage of 1,1,1‐trichloroethane removal from an aqueous solution are discussed.
