Effect of Geometric Modifications on the Performance of Vortex Tube - A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
The vortex tube is device, which produces hot and cold air streams simultaneously at its two ends from a source of compressed air without any moving part. Literature review of this paper is to understand the effect of various parameters like inlet pressure of air, number of nozzles, cold orifice diameter and hot end valve angle on the performance of vortex tube. Also by the literature review it is clear that there is no theory so perfect, which gives the satisfactory explanation of the vortex tube phenomenon. Due to this reason researcher conduct the series of experimentation to understand the effect of various parameters mentioned above on the performance of vortex tube.

In this article, a Ranque–Hilsch Vortex Tube has been optimized utilizing axial angles for nozzles. Effect of nozzles angles on the flow behavior has been investigated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques. A finite volume approach with the standard k–ε turbulence model has been used to carry out all the computations. The dimensions of studied vortex tubes are kept the same for all m...

In this study, fluid flow and energy separation in a micro-scale Ranque-HilschVortex Tube are numerically investigated. The flow is assumed as 2D, steady,compressible ideal gas, and shear-stress-transport SST k-W is found to be a bestchoice for modeling of turbulence phenomena. The results are in a good agreementwith the experimental results reported in the literature. The results show that f...

In this paper the effects of rigid triangular passive vortex generators on a hydrofoil were investigated numerically. In the first step using the Finite Volume Method the bare hydrofoil were modeled and the results of lift and drag coefficients were validated using experimental data. In the next step the hydrofoil armed with vortex generators was modeled and its effect on the hydrofoil perfo...
متن کاملDrag coefficient and strouhal number analysis of cylindrical tube in two phase flow
In many industrial equipment such as boilers and heat exchangers, the cylindrical tubes are exposed to the gas- liquid two phase flow. For any immersed body in flow field vortex shedding is created with a frequency that may be constant or variable, according to conditions such as flow rates, geometry of body, and etc. The failure will happen in the equipment, when this frequency is close to...
