Numerical Study on the Effect of Geometrical Parameters on the Performance of Vortex Tube Cooling Device Using Simflow

Vortex tube is a simple device which can separate room temperature compressed gas into the cold and hot flow. The performance of vortex tube is mainly affected by its geometrical parameters. In this study, the parameters are focused on cold outlet diameter and hot tube length. The objective of this...
