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...

a brass vortex tube (vt) with interchangeable parts is used to determine the optimum cold end orifice diameter, main tube length and diameter. experiments were carried out to study the effects of operating pressure as well. it is shown that there is an optimum value for cold end orifice diameter, which is equal to 4mm and there is an optimum value for cold and hot exit temperature difference at...

The streamwise and transverse velocities are measured simultaneously in isotropic grid turbulence at relatively high Reynolds numbers Re(lambda) approximately 110-330. Using a conditional averaging technique, we extract typical intermittency patterns that are consistent with velocity profiles of a model for a vortex tube, i.e., Burgers vortex. The radii of the vortex tubes are several of the Ko...

Vortex tube is a simple energy separation device, also known as Ranque tube or Hilsch tube, which can separate a high-pressure stream into two different hot and cold streams. Since its simple structure and unique temperature separation characteristics, vortex tube has been widely used in various industries. In recent years, with the in-depth study of the vortex tube, it has been found that comp...

Turbulent solar convection is a source of various processes observed as large-scale active phenomena, e.g., coronal mass ejections, formation of self-organized magnetic structures that appear on the surface as sunspots and pores, and other non-linear dynamical structures and phenomena. Modern realistic numerical simulations of solar turbulent phenomena are based on first physical principles and...

The vortex tube is a structurally simple device with no moving parts that is capable of separating a highpressure flow into two lower pressure flows with different energies, usually manifested as a difference in temperatures. The vortex tube is relatively inefficient as a stand-alone cooling device but it may become an important component of a refrigeration system when employed as an alternativ...

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...
