Summary

In order to get the internal parameters of a vortex tube, a large-scale vortex tube was designed and an experimental device was built. A five-hole probe and thermocouples were used to obtain the three-dimensional velocities, the static pressure, static temperature and total temperature distributions inside the vortex tube. Four different cold mass fraction conditions (0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8) were chosen and the impacts on the internal parameters of the vortex tube were discussed. Different from the traditional view, the tangential velocity was considered to be the steady Burgers vortex form. A reverse flow boundary was found, and the location of which was changed at different operation conditions and axial positions. Further, it was found that the lowest static temperature existed near the nozzle outlet, and a new static temperature difference distribution law was firstly proposed experimentally.
