Type of article: Article

Summary

A GENERAL MATHEMATICAL FORMULATION OF THE ENERGY SEPARATION PROCESS TAKING PLACE IN A VORTEX TUBE IS PRESENTED. BASED ON THE GOVERNING EQUATIONS A SIMILARITY RELATION OF THE VARIATION OF THE COLD GAS EXIT TEMPERATURE WITH THE COLD GAS MASS RATIO FOR GEOMETRICALLY SIMILAR VORTEX TUBES IS ESTABLISHED AND COMPARED WITH EXPERIMENTAL DATA. THE EXPERIMENTS CONDUCTED WITH AIR, HELIUM AND OXYGEN AS WORKING MEDIA CONFIRM THE THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND CORRESPOND VERY WELL WITH THE SIMILARITY RELATION.
