Abstract Details The vortex tube is a device which generates
(In 100 Words) separated flows of cold and hot gases from a
single compressed gas source. It contains the
parts: inlet nozzle, vortex chamber, cold-end
orifice, hot-end control valve and tube. The
working principle of the vortex tube.
Compressible fluid is tangentially introduced into
the vortex tube through the nozzles, due to the
cylindrical structure of the tube and depending
on its inlet pressure and speed, leads a circular
movement inside the vortex tube at high speeds.
Due to this process the hot and cold air get
separated from the compressed air and get
separated from the junction. And due to this we
get cold air from cold exhaust valve and the hot
air get removed from the hot exhaust valve.
As we will work for making the different
parameters for vortex tube such as nozzle, orifice
and hot end tube. We will also work for
increasing the C.O.P. of vortex tube by using tose
parameters.
In this we have to perform different processes
such as
1. By changing nozzle angle.
2. By changing pressure, it’s effect
on temperature ∆Tc.:-
 In this process, as pressure increases the ∆Tc This
is due to physical property. air that for lower inlet
pressures, if we expand air up to atmospheric
pressure ∆Tc, increases with straight line relation
but with higher inlet pressures this rate of
increase decreases
3. By changing µ its effect on ∆Tc. :-
As the µ increases the temp ∆Tc also increases.
The vortex tube can be considered most efficient
when µ(∆Tc) would be highest at a given
pressure.
