Computational Analysis of Vortex Tube with Different Inlet Shapes
Journal Title: GRD Journal for Engineering - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
The vortex tube, also known as the Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube, is a mechanical device that separates a compressed gas into hot and cold streams. The air emerging from the "hot" end can reach temperatures of 200 °C, and the air emerging from the "cold end" can reach -50 °C. It has no moving parts. This study is aimed towards presenting the CFD analysis of vortex tube carried out to gain an understanding about influence of different inlet shapes on its performance are compared and analyzed while other geometrical parameters are held constant. The energy separation has been observed for five different inlet shapes and air as working fluid.
