An investigation on the effect of the hot end plugs on the efficiency of the Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube
The phenomenon of temperature distribution in confined steady rotating gas flows is called Ranque-Hilsch effect. The simple counter-flow vortex tube consists of a long hollow cylinder with tangential nozzles at one end for injecting compressed air. Rotating air escapes the tube through two different outlets – a central orifice diaphragm placed near the inlet (cold end) and a ring–shaped peripheral outlet at the opposite end of the tube(hot end). This paper focuses on the performance of the Ranque–Hilsch vortex tube. Series plugs are used in the experiment in order to find the effect of the plugs on the vortex tube and the performance of the vortex tube, and finally the optimum size of the plug is decided according to the experiment data.
